When God tells us to destroy something...how much do we believe He is telling us to get rid of? How often we hold onto the loot (1 Sam 15:1-9), and allow it to continue to destroy blessings God has for us and hold us captive to yesterday.

The freedom that comes when we truly destroy those things that God has told us "No" to, the destruction of our plans can truly be a beautiful thing if we allow it to be completely destroyed. This requires action on our part...getting rid of things that cause us to look back and visit those times, those dreams, relationships, etc.

As I have been destroying things of days past, the Lord has given me such freedom and excitement for the days ahead. I have no idea what those days hold, but I am so excited. I went back through my journals of the past year and a half looking for some promises He gave me that I recorded. I found many answered prayers, He has healed my heart...all the pain that I found amongst the promises, there is nothing but rejoicing when I reread them.

Praise Him for putting to death what I was so quick to hold onto and claim as my own :)
