In a car we have a tiny rear view mirror and two tiny side mirrors, yet the windshield is HUGE!
That means that the driver is to use them on occasion to look behind them for perspective as they make decisions for the future and what's in front of them through the windshield.
The driver is NOT to spend all of his/her time looking behind or their forward motion will come to a sliding halt when they hit an obstacle or other blockage that was in front of them.
And an interesting tidbit is that in a car, the amount of time you are to spend using the resource directly correlates to it's size...meaning small rearview mirror means use it occasionally, LARGE WINDSHIELD means use it MORE often! This is the same about your LIFE!!!
Consider it as you go through your day. Are you looking forward or backward more often? The enemy would have you focused on your past, what you were and what you've done (performance). Jesus would have you focus on what HE did FOR you (performance), what He has FOR you and where you're going.
Which are you going to focus on???
