Looking Over Your Shoulder?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who want to forget what lies behind and push toward what lies ahead. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Ever been plagued by something that happened long ago? Don’t get bogged down by dwelling on the past. Run the race of life with concentrated focus. Race to the finish line.
Philippians 3:13-14 (NIV) tells us about this race.
“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
Stop pondering the past. Think about a glorious future. What happens when believers reach life’s finish line? The prize of life everlasting with Jesus awaits!
