…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. (Philippians 3:13-14)

This is one of my favorite verses!  I love that I’m called to forget what lies behind me.  Yesterday can only trip me up if I let it.  I make the choice daily to start fresh with a clean slate.  God’s mercies are new for me each morning.  What an amazing thought!  I don’t have to live on yesterday’s mercies and I don’t have to wallow in all that wasn’t accomplished.  For today is a new day and God has something beautiful in store for it.

“Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22-23, NKJV)
