Thursday
Philippians 3:13-14
Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Forgetting what is behind does not mean erasing our memories or living in denial, but choosing not to let the past—whether pain, disappointment, or even success—hold us back from stepping into the fullness God has for us. The past is a place to learn from, not to live in. Sometimes, letting go is hard and requires help, but straining toward what is ahead means intentionally releasing what hinders us and allowing God to use even our past as fuel for the future He has prepared.
Application:
Is there a specific memory, regret, or past success that you need to release to God today so you can fully embrace what He has for your future?
