*Press toward the goal*
Philippians 3:13
Brethren, I do not consider myself as having laid hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting those things which are behind, and stretching forward to those things which are ahead,
Philippians 3:13
Paul is focused unto the goal and he cannot allow anything to disrupt.
For him to achieve his objective, he has purposed to to put aside his past failures and successes and concentrating on the things that lies ahead - "the promises of GOD."
You may have been hurt in the past - please forgive and move on.
You may have hurt someone in the past - please seek genuine forgiveness from GOD and move on.
You may have had successes in the past and they are becoming a hindrance to your focus on GOD - do as Elisha did....."And he went back from him, and took a yoke of oxen and slaughtered them, and boiled their flesh with the implements of the oxen, and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he arose and went after Elijah, and ministered to him - 1Kings 19:21."
Elisha was eager for God's service. He burned his bridges behind him, destroyed his means of livelihood, and went forth for GOD.
"I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus - Philippians 3:14."
*Blessings* 🙏
