Title
There Are New Mountains
Scripture
The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, “You have dwelt long enough at this mountain.”(Deuteronomy 1:6)
Devotional
Have you noticed that the winning team remains on the field much longer than the losing team? The victor longs to savor the moment of success. To the victor do go the spoils. Nevertheless, the celebration must end and the trophy placed on the shelf. No matter how grand the mountain of victory, there must be other hills to climb. There must be other victories to relish. The past may be a wonderful place to visit, but it is a lousy place to dwell. No matter how sweet the victory of the past, the success of the future must be sought. Are you riding on past victories? Are you displaying old trophies? Are the good old days your best days? If so, “You have dwelt long enough at this mountain.” It is time to climb new peaks. It is time to conquer new hights. It is time to forget those things which are behind and reach forward to those things which are ahead.Daily Reading
Deu 5:1-6:25, Pro 12:8

This is a good one, even if I do say so myself... I wrote it a decade ago... It speaks to me today.

Timeless words as they were in Abraham's day. Reminds me to look ahead and not hang onto past items that may keep me dwelling in the past and missing what's happening right now or ahead.. Love this devotional. In the brokerage business we say, "You're only as good as your next trade."
