Our kids are learning more social studies and less
history. And that’s not a good thing. History is important. It keeps us from making
the same mistakes again. But dwelling on
past mistakes can be a waste of time. Can
you do anything about the past? The
answer is no. It is as if history is
written in stone - it cannot be changed.
Dwelling on the past is like trying to drive looking only in the
rear-view mirror. It’s good to glance
back to see where we’ve been, but we must focus on where we are going; we
should look to the future. Paul said it
best in Philippians 3:13&14, “Brethren, I count not myself to have
apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind,
and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark
for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Learn from the past but look to the
future. If you are a Christian, your
future is as bright as heaven. If you
are not a Christian, your future is … well … it is … Just become a Christian.
