I
appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you
agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you
may be perfectly united in mind and thought.

THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE...
For
churches to get along, sometimes their leaders must remind them about unity,
using the authority of the One who made his dying prayer a prayer for unity. We
must work together or perish.
MY PRAYER...
Lord
Jesus, you have presented so many of my prayers to our Father, but today, I
want to thank you for loving me so. I promise that I will do all I can, to the
glory of our Father, to live at peace and serve those who belong to you. By
your name and through the blessed Holy Spirit I pray. Amen.
Live Forward
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“...I
focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies
ahead”
(Philippians
3:13, NLT)
TODAY’S WORD
Have
you made the decision to forget the past? Many people don’t fully understand
what that means. They wonder, “How can I forget something that’s happened to
me?” But one definition of the word forget is to disregard intentionally or to
overlook. In other words, you have to choose to disregard your past so that it
doesn’t keep you from moving forward. That means the good and the bad.
Sometimes our past victories keep us from rising higher as much as past
failures. If we don’t let go of the old, we’ll never be able to embrace the
new.
It
doesn’t matter what’s happened in your history, it’s time to forget what lies
behind. Today, make the choice live forward. Trust that God has a better future
in store for you. Trust that He’s working behind the scenes on your behalf. As
you forget what lies behind and press forward, you’ll move forward. You’ll see
increase and blessing and live the abundant life He has in store for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father
in heaven, today I choose to forget the past. I don’t want anything to hold me
back from what You have in store for my future. I choose forgiveness. I choose
peace. Help me, by Your Spirit, to press forward into the life of blessing You
have for me in Jesus’ name. Amen.
