Press on Ahead
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.—Philippians 3:13-14 (KJV)
Memories are great places to visit, but don’t dwell there. Follow the Apostle Paul’s advice in the above verse. Growing and aging is one of God’s greatest gifts. Thank Him for every new day and then get on with the work that lies ahead.
Heavenly Father, help me to let go of yesterday and press toward new and beautiful tomorrows ahead.
