Forward Focused

Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Phil. 3:13-14 (Amp.) Your identity is not wrapped up in where you’ve been. You’re under divine covenant now and the Holy Spirit dwells within. Only what we do for Christ will last. In Him you are made new and are not the sum of your past. God can use it all for His glory. Go forth and let the Lord complete your story. Remain forward focused and press toward the goal ahead. Trust God and remain Spirit-led. Daily we are being refined, because God’s redemptive power is real. Don’t let your former days hinder what He’s trying to reveal. Let go of all that weighs you down, especially the things that are rooted in your old ways. Be fully present for what God is doing in you and through you today. Press Forward! ADaubon
