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
A man had an argument with his wife and she got historical on him. You mean hysterical? No, historical. She brought up everything he had ever done wrong. It is easy to be confused in the present, guilty for the past, and see the future as very dim. The apostle Paul could have looked back with regret, but instead he forgot about it and reached for the prize in Christ. Let's not let people get historical on us. May we all show the new person in us as we press on toward the goal in Christ.
