Will we ever forget 2020? The pain, loss of loved ones, loss of the sense of community, “the untouchables; elbows or fists to greet one another,” masks that hid our faces and emotions. The apostle Paul addresses the one thing he did; Philippians 3:13b “forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead.” Pastor John Linton has encouraged the congregation with several key and important truths from Philippians to put to use in 2021. Let’s start by forgetting, past failures, sins, and pain; we must move forward. If we have repented of our sins we are forgiven. It’s time to move forward with the fresh grace and mercy that God bestows on us. They are new every morning. Grasp them, hold onto them with a greater passion for Christ, more boldness to share the Gospel, and a desire to live a life consecrated, set aside for Him alone and for His glory. However, we will not accomplish these things without being intentional about them. But we are never to forget God’s blessings, spiritual victories, and the mercy God has shown us. Let us just not live on yesterday’s blessings, but call on Him with a desperate heart. Expect great things and attempt great things for God! 2021is a time to forget what is behind and strive for the goal ahead!
