Today’s photo is an example of looking back. In the winter of 2011, I captured this image
of my grandson Elliott. I look back on this day with joy. The Bible both encourages and cautions us about looking back.
Encouragement:
Remember the days of old; consider the years of many generations; ask your
father, and he will show you, your elders, and they will tell you (Deuteronomy 32:7 ESV).
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful (Hebrews 10:23 NIV)
Caution:
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and
looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. (Luke 9:62 KJV)
Remember Lot’s wife (Luke 17:32 KJV) See Genesis 19:26, where she looked back at Sodom and turned into a pillar of salt.
I hope that this photo causes you to look back with joy in God’s faithfulness and forward to His Kingdom, eternal joy.
