Reading: Philippians 3:12-14
Devotional: The Christian life is not about instant perfection, but rather a continual process of growth. Paul's words remind us to press on, forgetting what lies behind and pressing toward what is ahead. This requires intentional effort and discipline on our part.
What do you need to leave behind to press forward? What areas of your spiritual life need attention? Perhaps it's dedicating more time to prayer, studying Scripture, or serving others. Today, identify one specific area where you can "press on" in your faith. Set a concrete goal and ask God for the discipline to pursue spiritual growth with renewed vigor.
Prayer: Lord, I thank You for the journey of growth that You are orchestrating in my life. As I press on toward the goal, grant me the discipline and dedication to pursue spiritual maturity. Show me the areas that need attention, and help me to focus on deepening my relationship with You. With Your strength, I strive to move forward, leaving behind the past and embracing the future You have prepared for me. In Jesus' name, Amen.
