It is the nature of mankind not to want to be behind in anything. Most people want to be in the front of the crowd so that they can see better and hear better what is happening at the moment.
When you review your life, you can usually remember some very hard things that happened in your life. Maybe you had a child die at a young age or maybe you had a divorce that was very traumatic. Remembering your past can be a painful experience.
My servant Paul was ashamed of many things that happened in his past. However, he did not meditate on those things. He wrote: "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things that are behind, and reaching forth to those things that are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Keep pressing forward.
PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14
