Glorious past!!??

For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel:
'Seek Me and live;But do not seek Bethel, Nor enter Gilgal, Nor pass over to Beersheba; For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, And Bethel shall come to nothing.
Amos:5:4,5
Bethel, Gilgal& Beersheba, places associated with great men of God like, Abraham, Joshua & Samuel - the glorious past of Israel. The Lord commands His children,not to dwell in the glories of the past, nor to seek strength from them - for they will surely fade away. The Name of the Lord alone shall be glorified through all eternity. As for us, His mercies are new every morning. He gives us strength and wisdom to face each day,each moment, one at a time.
Children of God are not founded in their past. They are founded in eternity, in the true and living God - He who has no beginning or end.
