Never Perfect, Always Progressing…

26 Sep

Philippians 3:13-14, “Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

One goal that I sometimes lose sight of is my daily progression in the spirit. Asking myself, “How can I be better for the Lord today than what I was yesterday,” and not remain stagnant as I know YAH has something new for me today. Whether this progression comes from daily reading, prayer or meditation on the Most High, the Lord has a new prize for us today.

While we are made whole the day we accept Jesus (Colossians 2:10), we need to align our flesh to His will and present our physical bodies to Him in this natural world. The Apostle Paul alludes to the old Him as the main protagonist in His spiritual battle. As the need to put away our old ways of thinking and acting in order to reflect the totality of Jesus Christ.

Never perfect but always progressing towards the high calling of YAH, is a dire need for all Disciples of Christ. Striving each day to reach the perfection that is only in Christ, Shalom…
