"For every 'breakthrough' in our lives, there is also a 'breaking away' that takes place. We breakthrough to find peace, at the same time that we break away from worry or fear. We break through in our relationships when we break away from anger or hurt or unforgiveness. This is why we must continue to keep our focus on what is ahead of us and not on what is behind. We do not want to slide back into that old way of thinking or being. We have just had a Breakthrough. Live in your breakthrough and don’t slide back.
Proverbs 4:25-27 (NLT)
25 Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you.
26 Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path.
27 Don’t get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil." - Dan MacAulay ('DannyMac' - creator of two new Podcast series,
