Scripture

Philippians 3:13-14

“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, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”

Devotion

Mid-September offers a moment to reflect. You have lived through August, and September is half over. Scripture teaches both release and pressing forward. Let go of what hasn't worked. Learn from what has. Then press toward what's ahead. You are not finished. The goal is still before you. Keep moving.

Today’s Step

Reflect on the journey so far. What from August will you carry forward? What will you release? What is ahead that calls you?

Prayer

God, help me to release the past and press forward. Help me to learn and then let go. Help me to keep my eyes on what is ahead. Help me to press toward the goal.
