Rear-View Mirror

When first learning to drive we are told that every 2-5 seconds we are suppose to check our rear-view mirror. Looking back can actually help prevent accidents. We must be completely aware of our surroundings to move forward safely. As we grow more comfortable driving we look back less. With our eyes focused on what is ahead we gradually become more aware of our surroundings and checking our mirrors happens without thought. Some people however, get paranoid and distracted and keep their eyes on the rear-view mirror and lose sight of what is in front of them. Accidents become inevitable. In life it is important to take to heart the things from our past, and to use those situations to move forward. You can’t get anywhere if your rear-view mirror is larger then your windshield. If you are focusing too much on the past and not on what lies ahead, you will miss the great opportunities that are right in front of you.

Psalm 121:1
“I lift my eyes up to the hills- where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord the Maker of Heaven and Earth”
