HISTORY REPEATED

 

HISTORY REPEATED

Eccl. 1:9-11 History merely repeats itself; it has all been done before. Nothing under the sun is truly new. What can you point to that is new? How do you know it didn’t already exist long ago? We don’t remember what happened in those former times. And in future generations, no one will remember what we are doing now. NLT

We are merely reliving the past. The way we live may be different than previous generations, but in essence, nothing has changed. We face the same battles that have been fought for generations and generations. There is a constant spiritual warfare that has plagued humanity since sin was first introduced on earth. All people make choices daily in whom they will serve, God or Satan. Sometimes we win battles and sometimes we lose them. It will continue to be that way until Jesus comes to send Satan into the depths of hell for eternity.

Life is lived in the moment. Not every moment of life is recorded to refer to. Be assured, over the course of history, whatever you are going through in life has already been lived. Your life is no different from anyone else’s. Others have fought and won your battles and you can too. History is full of a great cloud of witnesses that there is victory over your struggles. Satan wants you to believe that no one understands your struggles but you. He wants you to buckle underneath the load and not have any hope that there is a way out. He wants you to give up and not persevere until victory is found.

No one may remember you in future generations, but you can leave a great legacy for those who know you if you don’t cave in. You can show them that in Christ, all things are possible. You can show them that the Lord does not abandon His children. You can show them that there is indeed hope for them too in Jesus. How you live today may affect the lives of many for years to come. Stay strong in faith and let the Lord lead you step by step to the victory that is yours in Him.
