Discovering God's Presence and Purpose
Book by: Dr. David Jeremiah
Written by: Lynne Wood
Idon't know how Dr. David Jeremiah does it, but obviously his writing and teachings are definitely a gift from God. Forward is the title of his latest book, just an incredible read. This would make a wonderful Christmas gift.
In his book Forward, David Jeremiah will take you through ten steps. Each chapter is a step to dream, pray, choose, focus, risk, pursue, believe, invest, finish and finally to celebrate. Inside the chapters, you'll find many interesting people who have followed God's plan for moving forward.
It doesn't matter what you're going through or where you are right now in your life; it doesn't even matter how old you are. God has a plan to move you forward. Through this book, you will find God's presence and His plans for your tomorrows as you begin to move forward in your life.
Musician, Tommy Walker, wrote and performed his song called, Forward, on Sunday, April 14, 2019 at Shadow Mountain Church. The lyrics to that song are:
It's been a long, long road; It's been a crooked path with many twists and turns. But I'm not looking back; I'm walking straight ahead, Believing what you've said, Lord, That you're gonna be with me no matter what life brings. Forward, I'm going forward to the plans you have for me, To horizons yet unseen, Forward to your new mercies, I will find as I'm pressing toward the prize, I'm going forward. When David Jeremiah heard him sing those lyrics, they tugged at his heart and that's what inspired him to write this book.
This is a very powerful book that will open your eyes to new possibilities, that you may never have thought possible.
As David Jeremiah always says, your car's rear view mirror was designed small for a reason, for you to just glance at from time to time, not to dwell there. Your windshield, on the other hand, is large for you to look forward to your future and everything God has to offer.
Just remember, there is no going forward without Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, in our lives. He is the ultimate goal to begin moving forward.
Philippians 3:12-14 says, "12. Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14. I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."
