Philippians 3:13-14 “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.” (NASB)
Hello,
Do you ever feel like this: Something good starts to happen –
you begin to see a cool path taking shape in front, then wham – something happens
and you suddenly don’t feel worthy of what seems to be set in motion. You hesitate,
should you push on or give in to the feeling of inadequacy and slow down? We
need to have the mindset of Paul. No, we aren’t perfect – but we cannot let
that past (even if those items are recent) stop us from pushing forward to what
God has for us. Now, depending on the circumstance it may very well be that
part of moving forward involves confession and requesting forgiveness – but even
if that is the case, we need to still move forward. Satan loves to get us stuck
in neutral….thinking about the past and doubting if we are worthy to keep
pushing forward. In those times, this scripture may be a great encouragement to
you.
Have a blessed day,
