In Philippians 3, Paul the Apostle addresses the Judaziers’ false teachings. Instead of fighting against the Judaziers, he focuses on knowing Christ in the midst of being in chains. Paul is willing to put his credentials and accomplishments aside and strive towards the “goal” of winning the prize for which God has called him. Press On is my word for #2024. I have nothing to prove or to “flex.” We may fall into the trap of that mindset as we step into the new year. However, I am willing to forget the former things behind me, be like Christ, and move on to a life of obedience for His glory.
