"Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." -Philippians 3:13-14 (NASB)
We make mistakes and we experience successes in life, but neither is a reason to stop trying to get better and do better in and with our lives.  We can live through our mistakes.  We can experience success, both big and small.  Either way, we shouldn't be satisfied with our accomplishments.  We should continually try to learn and do more for God!

Whether learning from mistakes or building on our successes, we cannot dwell in the past, but must keep working to be better and do more as part of God's Kingdom.  Paul reminds us in Philippians that we should forget what is behind us and move forward to reaching the goal of living life redeemed by Jesus.  We can learn lessons from our past, but we must continue moving forward in life.  We should strive to follow Paul's example, not dwelling on the success or failures of the past, but trying to live up to the life modeled by Jesus.  We don't have to go it alone.  God will help us, we just have to call on and rely on Him!

Don't dwell on the past - good or bad.  Try to be the best you for God right now and always!

Prayer:
Dear God-

Thank You for sending Your Son and other servants that show me how to live life.  Help me to follow these examples in order to be better, live better, and do more for Your Kingdom here on earth and for eternity.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
