Why do we choose the problems and patterns of our past instead of the freedom that God has called us into? How can we overcome the mental and emotional fences of our past to live in the fullness of God's love? Moses shares insight with the Israelites on how to leave our past behind and embrace God's promises for our future. We often seek out temporary satisfaction instead of focusing on lasting fulfillment. Paul teaches us to focus on the eternal things of God rather than the temporary pleasures of the world.
