Moving Forward

As we progress into the New Year, one of the challenges many people have is being faithful to their "new year's resolutions.".After the newness of the year wears off, the excitement and enthusiasm that we possessed to "make that change" seems to wane. However, a lot of our lack of commitment has less to do with a lack of discipline, and more to do with a lack of focus.

In order to progress and Move Forward in the direction that God has ordained for our lives, there are some things that we're going to have to leave behind. Paul said in the 3rd chapter of Philippians, "I press toward the mark for the prize of the High Calling of God in Christ Jesus.". And he makes it clear that the only way to truly press is to forget those things which are behind (Philippians 3:13).  

Saints, what are those things that God is calling you to leave behind so you can effectively press into His Divine Will for your life? Is it a relationship? Is it family ties? Is it old habits? Is it a job? Is it a career? Whatever it is, leaving it behind is the only way that you can truly Move Forward.
