The bible says, “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me” God is constantly calling us to higher places in Him. He wants us to know Him more. He wants us to walk in His ways so that we can experience His full blessings on our life.
Paul was saying to the Philippians that he was pressing on toward the goal of God’s calling. How did he press forward? In verse 13 he says, “One thing I do is forget what lies behind and strain forward to what lies ahead.”
See, in order to press forward, we have to let go of the past. We let go by forgiving and choosing not to dwell on things that hold us back. We have to lighten our load so that we can rise higher and take hold of ALL the things God has for us.
Today, if you are struggling in an area, ask God what you need to let go of. Then ask Him to help you leave it in the past. Ask Him to help renew your thinking and make better choices for the future. Let go of the past, forgive, and press forward to the prize of your heavenly Father’s awesome calling!
