Time Travelers

S.E.E.D. For Today_Forward

Scripture "I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead." Philippians 3:13 NLT

The Apostle Paul lets us know that he will not contend with the past or present measures of grace, but he is contending to stretch himself to go forward. He realized that he had not mastered many areas of perfection in his life after his conversion. He did not rest on the power and prestige he had in his former life. He did not linger on the fact that he gave orders for many to be executed and imprisoned but now he himself was a prisoner of which he boldly denounced. Paul thinks forward, he forgets about his Jewish privileges and presses on the great race in which his goal is to win. We are time travelers that are moving forward. Paul says we press toward.

Example In the direction that one is facing or traveling. Onward, being progressive, future.

Exercise Read Philippians 3:12-14 Evaluate yourself from the scripture. In what direction are you traveling? What year are you trying to re-live? Republicans long to have the old America, but without God America will be a wasteland full of lawlessness and rebellion. The children of Israel died in the wilderness having a heart to travel back to Egypt. Forget the Past and move Forward!

Devotion Lord I pray today for understanding. I pray for spiritual maturity that I come in agreement of your word. I pray for strength to move forward, forgetting the past, I let go and Let God. Strengthen my mind that I don't take frequent trips to my past, but by faith press toward the future. In Jesus Name Amen.
