Grace for your spirit October 28, 2009

Grace for your spirit

Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14

We all have many things on our minds every day. It is necessary give priority of some thoughts over others. Some things need to go into the “back of our minds”, and other things we need to put at the “front of our minds”. Things from the past will always be remembered, but if we can push them back, we will have more room for the tasks of today. Paul had plenty to remember that would keep him from being Christ’s disciple, if he wished to dwell on them. He chose to forget the past, and press on toward his new goals in Christ. Goals to meet the needs of those he met, to give God the glory, and proclaim the name of Jesus. What is in the front of our minds today? Do we have thoughts to press on, or drag us down?

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit

Philippians 4:23
