Before Jesus, all we saw were battles. Now that we’re getting to know Jesus, He’s changing our perspective to only seeing victories ahead. Hallelujah.
The Red Sea, David and Goliath, and other such stories in the Bible. God allows challenges and battles to show us His mighty arm full of victories.
Don’t look back or you will be consumed. Do not focus on the battle.
God began telling Mark this thing about not focusing on battles but to anticipate deliverance and new revelations instead also refers to the future and physical things that may be coming like all the end times events.
Don’t look back like Lot’s wife did. Do not focus on the battle, focus on the deliverance. God has been showing us how to keep our eyes off of battles and to look ahead to what He has for us coming – new insights, deliverance, more spiritual strength, all of it. Do not look at battles. Instead, stay expectant for His leading and deliverance.
Thanking and praising God in all things,
Mark
