Don't dwell there!!
"My servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with Him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land". Numbers 14:24. My friend, don't build monuments of your failed past, you understand? As they prepared to divide up the land, 85-year old Caleb reminded Joshua that God had promised him a portion of land.. He pointed to the mountain rising above Hebron where giants lived. "Give me this mountain", he said, "and with God's help I'll drive out those giants". Joshua 14:12. Joshua granted Caleb's request and Caleb took Hebron and the mountains near it. He stood upon God's promise and claimed his inheritance. He did not let his age, or the size of his enemies, or previous failures of Israelites STOP HIM. Joshua was talking to a nation whose yesterdays were a long list of repeated failures and rebellion against God. They had been convicted, judged, punished and reinstated frequently by the God they'd flagrantly sinned against. Surely they ought to have been cut of and stripped of any future blessing. Bro: Just when the enemy has you convinced that with your past God couldn't possibly have a future for you, He calls you to prepare yourselves for tomorrows blessings! Oh yes, God is fully aware of your yesterdays, but He's much more focused on YOUR TOMORROWS. So what do I do, You may ask? Thanks for asking! Acknowledge, confess and release your yesterdays to the crucified Christ. "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you". DON'T BUILD MONUMENTS OF YOUR FAILED PAST AND DWELL THERE!!!! TADA!!! SHRUG YOUR SHOULDERS, WALK LIKE A GENERAL, GOD HAS A PLAN AND PURPOSE FOR YOU, Y'ALL HEAR ME?
