Philippians 3:13-14
“Brethren, I count
not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those
things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high
calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
Paul reminds us in these verses to forget
our past and to reach for the future. So many of us today are haunted by the
sins of their past. But the Lord tells us plainly, we are free from those sins
through His blood that He shed for us on the cross. There is no benefit to
dwelling on our past sins. It only brings unneeded stress and grief. We should
learn from our mistakes and move on.
As the scripture above tells us “press
toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Seek
the Lord's will for your life and press on to that goal. Look to the Lord for
peace and joy in this life. Think and meditate on the things of God and not on
ourselves, the world around us or our past. Press on toward to our inheritance
with Christ Jesus.
Praise ye the Lord!!!
