As you look at the scriptures you discover some very interesting things. Biblically we think about this concept of looking back in two ways. Four Things You Should Not Do when Looking Back 1. Look back with regret at missed opportunities. If you have missed an opportunity, spiritual or otherwise, the reality of life is that you cannot go back and take another shot.
Life just doesn t work that way.
Regret is sorrow without change. The essential element is change, of heart, of life, of attitude, of direction. Look back and require more of yourself than God does. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
