Every Day Forward

What does each day bring? How should we leverage each day as an opportunity to move forward toward the high calling God has for us?
Every day and every year is a new opportunity for a new beginning. Each day holds opportunity to move toward God and to grow.
The Apostle Paul wrote the church in Philippi, saying, “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." (Philippians 3:13-14, ESV).
We do not live in the past. Looking back is not as helpful as looking forward. We cannot live life looking through the rear view mirror, but we can use the perspective of looking back to inform how we strain forward to what God has for us—the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
May we press forward towards the goal to gain the prize—God and his high calling in Jesus.
A Collect for the Eve of Worship: “O God, the source of eternal light: Shed forth your unending day upon us who watch for you, that our lips may praise you, our lives may bless you, and our worship on the morrow give you glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
