Philippians 3:13: Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead.
I’ve got a message for you. You might have been struggling with a lot of things in your life. Think about those people you surround yourself with. Think about the things you listen to. Also think about all those thoughts that come to you.
You need to ask yourself a question are these thoughts, these people, or this environment is taking me in the direction that I need to go in my life. If it’s not, you need to erase them. You need to move on because there is something greater in the inside of you that is calling you to become greater, to be part of something greater: that’s in the kingdom of God.
If you know Jesus as Lord of your life, I encourage you to leave things behind. It’s time. It’s time for you to shine. The only way it will come is if you allow yourself to be mentored by Him, to understand His thoughts, His ways, and His patterns of life. As you read His word, as you meditate on His word, life will be easier. Things will change for your life.
But until then, nothing is going to change. You are still going to be listening to the same things, you are still going to be associating with the same people. Guess what, one year from now, you do not want to be in the same situation as you are today.
I encourage you today to leave those things behind. Move on. There is something great on the horizon that Jesus has for your life. Move on, leave things behind. God has a good, good plan for you this year. So get closer to him and you will not regret it. See you next time.
