BETTER TODAY THAN YESTERDAY

SCRIPTURE

Philippians 3:13-14

Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: 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.

DEVOTION

We can see in scripture that God desires consistent growth in His people.  Growth in our relationship with Him. Growth in the activities we engage in. Growth in our ability to lead others to Him.  Growth in the things He calls us to.  This scripture in Philippians is a great example of the growth mindset of the Lord and His disciples.  Paul says that he didn’t consider himself to have “taken hold” of it.  And because of this mindset, he was pressing forward to become all that God had called him to be.  The amazing thing about our walk with God is, we can still come to new places in it until the day we die.  Growth never has to stop. (TARGET STATEMENT)  It is up to us to position ourselves (body, mind, and spirit) to continually learn from God and those He places in our lives to achieve that growth.  In Kingdom Athletics we believe this to be one of our foundational principles.  Much of what we do is based on this scripture and concept.  We are habitually doing devotionals to grow in our walk with the Lord.  We are also bent on training in season and out because of this ideal.  That’s why we see signs hanging everywhere that say….BETTER TODAY THAN YESTERDAY!!!
