Luke 9:62 says, ” No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the Kingdom of God.” When we give our heart, mind, and soul to Jesus, He demands that we forego our past…surrendering, relinquishing, and giving up everything that goes with it. The imagery Jesus uses here in this verse is plowing. Now having been raised on a corn and soybean farm in Central Illinois, I can personally tell you about plowing, which is the first part of cultivating the soil to plant. You start on the far right of the field, make one pass, and then drop the right front tire in the furrow and follow it. You’re continually looking ahead to ensure long straight rows, while never looking back or taking your eyes off your tire in the furrow. Consequently, when we’re forever looking back and focused on our past, we’re of no good to God. So keep moving forward with your eyes looking straight ahead…and never allow the past to influence your future.
