Shalom! • Not that I have already reached the goal or am already fully mature, but I make every effort to take hold of it because I also have been taken hold of by Christ Jesus. Brothers, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: ☞ Forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is ahead, I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God’s heavenly call in Christ Jesus. ☞ Therefore, all who are mature should think this way. And if you think differently about anything, God will reveal this also to you. In any case, we should live up to whatever truth we have attained!! ~ Philippians 3:12-16 ☜✶✶✞✶✶☞ Everyone who has run a race knows that you can break your stride by looking over your shoulder to check out how your opponents are doing!! ... Many races have been lost when the leader looked back over his shoulder!!! ☜✶✶✞✶✶☞ When you see that finish line, that is the time to give it everything youve got with LASER FOCUS . . . because sometimes its mere inches that separate one runner from another. You must stay focused on STAYING THE COURSE TO FINISH THE RACE TO RECEIVE THE CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, AMEIN . ♔༒♕ This is the idea behind The Apostle Pauls statement in Philippians 3:13. The apostle was saying, ☞ Dont look back. Dont look behind you. ☞ When God promises: I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins ~ Isaiah 43:25 He isnt predicting a lapse in His memory. God is saying, I will NO longer hold your sin against you, because my Son has paid for it on the Cross at Calvary, Amein. In the same way, then, we need to do what God does: forget our past. Yes, we certainly need to learn from our mistakes and remember some of the bitter lessons weve learned. But we no longer need to be controlled by our past. Thats what Paul meant by forgetting what is behind. Think about the horrible things Paul had done in hunting down and killing “Christians” . . . He shared responsibility for the death of Stephen and had to carry that in his conscience until his final day. He knew that he was responsible for terrible deeds. But he was able to put his past in the past. And we need to do the very same .....
