Read through the Bible in 2 Years: Philippians 3:12-4:1

Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. 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, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you.

Philippians 3:12-15 ESV

True maturity will produce humility. The stronger I grow in my faith, the more easily I see my flaws, shortcomings, and imperfections. Thankfully, the stronger I grow in my faith, the greater my desire to press on, remembering that my citizenship is in heaven.

Sisters, stand firm in the Lord. Press on. You’re on a journey, but you’re not alone. Jesus is with you, and so am I. We’re on this journey together. Don’t let your belly be your god. Don’t set your mind on things of this earth. Rather, strain forward to what lies ahead, what is eternal, what is sure. One day God will transform our lowly, broken bodies to be like His glorious body. I can’t wait. Remember, to live is Christ, to die is gain.

Heavenly Father, please give me the strength to press on. I can’t do it on my own. I need You. Help me day by day to forget what lies behind and strain forward to what is ahead, to press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let me not set my mind on the desires of my flesh, but on eternity with You in heaven. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.
