12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:12-14)
We take this opportunity to wish every one a safe and prosperous New Year. Philippians 3:12-14 gives us at least 3 helpful hints to ensure a greater result this time around. They are:
I. Realize Your Present Situation
- Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect.
II. Release Your Past Successes
- Forgetting (to no longer be influenced or affected by) those things which are behind.
III. Reach for the Prize Steadily
- Reaching forth unto the things ahead; Press toward the mark....
May God's richest blessings be upon you all.
