A PLAN FOR PROGRESS
By Chaplain Perry
SCRIPTURE s PHILIPPIANS 3? 14-15 I
press toward the mark for the prize of
the high calling of God in Christ
Jesus.
Let us therefore, as many as be per
fect, be thus minded: and if in any
thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall
reveal even this unto you.
Life consists of TODAY. Yesterday
is gone—tomorrow is only a hope. This
priceless gift can be spent only once.
Paul was able to buy success by fol
lowing the plan found in these verses.
Paul is saying that he has failed
to measure up to God’s requirements
but he is working for that goal by
living each day to its fullest. The
days behind have been filled with both
failures, sins, mistakes and with some
success. He refuses to waste today by
greiving over his mistakes and bosting
of his accomplishments. It is more
profitable to learn from the mistakes,
gain courage from the success and ex
pend his t$me and energy on the task
at hand. "I press toward the mark of
(continued next column)
the high calling of God in Jesus
Christ." He does so with courage be
cause "I can do all things through
Christ."
This plan still works. We have
God’s forgiveness for our sins and can
forget them. This permits us to turn
loose the anchor of the past and strive
with God's help and guidance to ful
fill His requirements by living well
this day.
PRAYER
Our Father, deliver us from those
things which are behind, and enable us
to make this day the finest of our
lives. Go before us and be our guide
and strength in our climb toward the
prize of the high call of God. Amen.
