Midpoint Reflection: Three Quarters

Progress & Perspective

Scripture

Philippians 3:12-14

“Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 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.”

Devotion

October 1st is day 274. Mid-October (day 284) marks three-quarters of the year passed. Scripture teaches both assessment and forward focus. Look back at what you've accomplished, what you've learned, who you've become. Then release it. Forget what is behind. Focus on what is ahead. You have ninety days left. What will you do with them?

Today’s Step

Reflect: What are you proud of? What do you regret? What will change in the final quarter?

Prayer

God, help me to reflect and learn. Help me to release the past. Help me to focus forward. Help my final quarter to be significant.
