The race is not over

Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.~Philippians 3:13-14

Yesterday is gone.  I can not rely on what I did yesterday and I can. It let what I did not do deter me from forward.  God has given me another day; a day to start again where I am. A chance to move forward and grow in Him.  I can't become stagnant or complacent.  I must live this day with expectation.  Seeking God first with all of my heart( Mathew 6:33 and Jeremiah 29:13).  Leaning not to my own understanding.  Not relying on my intellect, but trusting God for the wisdom to place my feet in the places that He has pre-ordained and prepared for me (Proverbs 3:5-6). 

My season for reaping is not yet, here so I must continue to sow.  I must continue to labor and press my way forward knowing that if I do not grow weary I will reap a harvest(Galatians 6:9).  I must start where I am and ask God to take me where He wants me to be.

Father help me run this race until the end.  Let me not settle for good when I know You have better waiting for me.  May I walk in Your purpose and stay in the center of Your will.  Give me a clean heart and a wise tongue.  Use me Jesus.  Here I am send me!  Keep me humble and grateful and may praises continually be on my lips.  May I release praise unto the atmosphere.  Set the tone of my day Lord.  May it be a pleasing sound unto Your ears.  Forgive me and wash me.  Make me white as snow.  It is only by your blood that I am here today.  Thank You Lord.  Help me Lord and help your people.  In Jesus name. Amen
