Phi 3:13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,
This is how Paul describes his past ” From the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one.
Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep;
in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my own countrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren… (2Cor11:24-26)
The past was bulky and bitter for him. He chose to forget those things that were behind him because they would affect his future. Christian friends, lets forget those things that are behind us. Let’s look forward to those things which are ahead. The future is better without the past.
🙏Blessed day🙏
