"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." ( Phil 3:13-14 KJV) Nothing more can be done about the things in our past; that includes the good things as well as, the not so good things. There is however, much to be done about what lies ahead of us! Although, there may be giants in the land, (obstacles, things to overcome) we are well able to achieve if we set our minds to press forward no matter what. The prize is ahead of us not behind us! Prepare for greater!
Prayer: Lord, thank you for the opportunity to enter into another new year. We will not be detoured by obstacles or hindrances that may appear in our way. In You we press ahead toward the prize! Amen.
Heb 12:1-2. . . . Since we have such a huge crowd of men of faith watching us from the grandstands, let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let us run with patience the particular race that God has set before us. Keep your eyes on Jesus, our leader and instructor. He was willing to die a shameful death on the cross because of the joy he knew would be his afterwards; and now he sits in the place of honor by the throne of God. TLB
