Moving forward not backward

"... you must not eat bread or drink water there or return by the way you came."

1 Kings 13:17

In order to quit the cycle of hitting dead-ends in your life, you must do things differently; stop repeating the same mistakes over and over.  Instead, take each mistake, put the lesson learned, seek guidance from God, and move forward in a new direction.  LIFE IS WAY TOO SHORT FOR CIRCLES AND DEAD ENDS.

Running away from God

“ The word of the Lord came to Jonah… But Jonah ran away from the Lord… Then the Lord sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship threatened to break up.”

Jonah 1:1,3,4

If your life is in a complete whirlwind of stress, confusion, and fear right now; if your life seems cluttered, out of order and going in circles, then maybe it’s time to stop and listen, LISTEN, to God… there is a good chance he’s just trying to get your attention.

On your feet... MOVE!

Then God said, “You’ve been going around in circles in these hills long enough… On your feet now.  Get started…”

Deuteronomy 2:2-6, 24-25, The Message

You!  Yes, you – you have been wasting enough time.  Your life is too precious to live in defeat.  So, on your feet!  Get up! It is time to move forward – it is time to move on.
