The word for today is - Forward !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Forward !

 

 

Let's look at Philippians 3:12-14,Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.We have to forget about the things which are behind us, and stretch forward towards the mark in Christ Jesus.Don't let the things of the past steal your present time. Some people seem to be going through a period of  thinking yesterday was better than today. Let's look at something ,Alexander Graham Bell wrote this, When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us. Let's look at something ,Abraham Lincoln wrote,The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time. It is true that man has a plan, but God orders our steps.Read 1 Corinthians 9:24,Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. Run !!!!!!!!!!!!!! We can only reflect on somethings we feel were done right to bless others and there we can find satisfaction in knowing that the Lord is pleased. There are many personal goals that all of us did not fulfill, so it is best to thank God for the positives and not dwell on the negative. We must understand that the Bible tells us to press on towards the mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus. We are in a race and we can’t go back and retrieve any time lost from the previous year.We are constantly to be moving forward, growing and doing all we can to get the message of God’s word to others. We must make sure that we are living a life that reflects Christ’s nature to attract others to Him. Thank you God for your word. Amen !
