“… 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.” – Philippines 3:13 & 14
Let’s use this new year as a time of renewal! Renew hope, renew confidence in God, and in God’s great love, goodness and mercy. Perhaps there are that we need to turn away from (i.e forgetting those things which are behind). Some things we just have to leave. But we can reach forth to be more of what God wants us to be.
Will we do this poorly? Yes, very likely. Any new thing we start, we start doing very poorly. But we get better as we continue to do it.
What things do you need to leave behind this new year? What things do you need to press toward in 2020?
May God give you his great blessings on your journey.
