“Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.” Philippians 3:12 (ESV)
The last day of the year is here. It is a time for looking back over the past. We are flooded with all kinds of retrospectives about what has happened in our world – especially the lives of celebrities. But this is also a time for looking forward to our future. For those of us who believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior it makes a good time In our Christian lives to remember that we are not living by ourselves. It is not the accomplishments of our life or of the lives of others. It is the accomplishments that God has done for us. Our Lord has goals for us to achieve in each of our lives and we achieve those goals only through trusting and following Him. We press on each day with these goals in mind so at the beginning of another year we can commit ourselves again to our Lord and ask Him to continue revealing to us His glorious purpose for each of our lives and provide for us the grace, strength and wisdom we need. As we put ourselves into his hands we can be sure that He will show us how He loves us. The promise we have is that Christ Jesus has made us His own, let's remember that and press on each day in the coming year.
