Most of us struggle with the past. We carry on the past to the extent that we find it difficult to forget. We usually go back to our old life and we start re-living it.
The past is a trap we must avoid as it can deny us the joy of the present and the prize ahead us in future. When Apostle Paul was writing to the church at Ephesus, he wrote in Philippians 3:13. "Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting those things which were behind, I press forward to what lies ahead."
Paul was deliberate about letting go of the past. Like him, let's throw away the burden of the past as it can hinder us from getting the prize. For our Christian race, we need to take the up-look, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.
Don't let yesterday's failures derail you from the goal of your upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Press on for the gold medal prize until you meet the Lord Jesus at the finish line.
