What To Do When You Have Regrets In Your Life.

8/24/2016

0 Comments

 
Philippians 3:13-15 - Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind;   NKJV
 
  • Paul's Advice Is Timeless 
When you have done something in your past that you now regret my advice is follow Paul's comments to the Christians at Philippi.
 
"Forget those things which are behind" you. We all know once something is done it cannot be undone. A friend of mine named, Preacher Greenleaf,  had a saying during times of regret and it was "You can't unscramble a scrambled egg."
 
Now there is a piece of wisdom for you. "You can't unscramble a scrambled egg." 
  • Even God Had A Regret 
1 Samuel 15:11 - "I regret that I have made Saul king, for he has turned back from following Me and has not carried out My commands."  NASU
 
It would behoove us to learn from this passage. If God had regret, and He did, how do you expect to go through life without any regrets?
 
Quit trying to do the impossible. Now is the time you need to remember the famous line from the movie Donnie Brasco, which is "Forget About It."
 
So there you have it. How do you deal with "regret"? You "forget about it." 
  • Look Down The Road Of Life 
You need to see down the road of life. There are more things for you to accomplish. God made a new plan once He realized Saul was not fit to be King. He replaced him with David.
 
Make new plans and move forward. It is better than getting stuck looking back at that which you regret and can't change. 
  • Be Honest With Yourself 
If you will make an honest assessment of your life you have had more than one regret in your life.

I know I have. Here is what I learned.

Life doesn't always go as we plan it. So when it doesn't ask God to help you set a new goal and give you the strength to set out on accomplishing it.
 
Never let a regret stop you from pursuing other adventures. Every successful person knows how to deal with regrets.
 
Think On These:
 
Between tomorrow's dream and yesterday's regret is today's opportunity.
 
You can't have rosy thoughts about the future when your mind is full of blues about the past.

Stay Pumped,
