Pressing Forward In Purpose
Devotional
Your past doesn't disqualify you from God's purpose - it prepares you for it. Like Paul, who remained joyful even in chains, we can maintain our focus on God's calling regardless of our circumstances. Every fall, every setback, every accusation against us becomes another opportunity to demonstrate God's grace and power. The key isn't in never falling, but in keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus and continuing to press forward.
Bible Verse
Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.' - Philippians 3:13
Reflection Question
What past experiences or failures have you allowed to hold you back from fully pursuing God's purpose for your life?
Quote
Do not let men count you out from the purpose of God. On your life you will fall. You are not perfect. You are perfected in Christ. If you remain in Christ, you will be. Okay, keep on pressing.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me leave the past behind and press forward into Your purpose for my life. Thank You that my failures don't define me - Your grace does. Amen.
