Pressing Onward
Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:12-14
God has called you to a life, not just a day.
Today is a new day in that life.
Whatever happened yesterday; things that went well and not so well, those things are now behind us. Today we are taking out focus off those things and looking forward.
The goal is ahead, not behind, so why do we spend so much time looking backward?
We haven’t already attained or haven’t already been made perfect, so we must press onward and move forward in the strength and in the calling of Christ Jesus on our lives.
Go forth in victory today!
