The Rear View Mirror

Last night was the Most Excellent Way at CCMB. The MEW Worship Team did a fantastic job with the music, and celebrating sobriety is always a great thing. I encourage everyone to check out the TESTIMONY that Lynnea gave...it's a short video clip. But what I wanted to share here is the message that Mike gave from Hebrews 3 about slipping back into the lifestyle you were once in bondage to. As the writer of Hebrews states, it's all about a hardened heart. There isn't anything in the rear view mirror we need to see for going forward in Christ. We should remember those things that He did for us, and understand His heart that we walk victoriously. "When your fathers tempted Me, proved Me, and saw My works forty years" (Heb. 3:9) With such a big windshield in front of us with hope, and a future, the only thing we need look in the rear view mirror about is the faithfulness of our almighty Lord and Savior.
