Moving Forward

10/29/2015

"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)
One of the lessons we try to teach our middle schoolers is one that I admit I struggle with myself.  There are times in our lives when we must forget about what is behind us so we can move forward with our lives.  We need to forget what people may have said to us or done to us in the past.  We also need to forget the sins that we have been forgiven of so we can focus on reaching the goal of the call of God!

Whenever we feel that we have fallen short of our goals or God's calling, we can remember that God is there to help us along.  He wants us to succeed.  He wants us to be closer to Him.  We will make mistakes, but God will forgive us.  We just have to ask!  Once we learn from our mistakes and are forgiven, we shouldn't dwell on them.  Instead, we should keep our eyes focused on God, the goal of His calling in our lives, and the prize of eternal life with Him!

Keep your eyes on God, leaving the past behind and moving forward toward His goals for your life!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and wanting me to be close to You.  Help me to move toward the future goals that You have for me instead of dwelling on the past.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
