In I Kings 19:15 God spoke to Elijah after a time of hard work and exhausting circumstances: "Go back the way you came".
I can hear Elijah now: Wait! Whaaaaaat? Go back!?!? God, You want me to go BACK through all that heartache and pain?!
Imagine God saying that to Jay and Rachel: Go back the way you came through your son's journey through cancer. Gulp.
Insert your own name and circumstance: _____________, go back through _________________. Ouch. Buttttttt.......
What if we focus on the lessons learned, a new depth of faith, closer relationships, and wisdom gleaned if we only dare to gaze backwards?
God is always always always up to something good! When was the last time you looked back and thanked Him?
"I will consider all Your works and meditate on all Your mighty deeds. Your ways, God, are holy. What god is as great as our God?" Psalm 77:12,13
