Philippians 3:16 But we must hold on to the progress we have already made.
The Apostle Paul had been speaking about forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, about pressing on to reach the end of the race and receiving the heavenly prize. Then he makes this wonderfully wise statement But we must hold on to the progress we have already made.
May I encourage anyone reading this today to hold on to the progress you've already made because you have made some progress over recent months. When you think you're not getting anywhere, that you feel like you've taken one step forward and two steps back those thoughts are not of God. You have made progress, now hang on to it!! You are doing better than you think.
Keep reminding yourself that the path of the righteous gets brighter and brighter, that the Lord is directing your steps and He is not only going ahead of you but also guarding your back. Keep declaring the favour of God on your life and that you are precious in His sight.
When you feel down because you can't see progress, look up, grab a hold of the faith God has put in you, even if it feels as small as a seed, and remember you are accepted by God in His beloved Son, that He paid the highest price for you to be part of His family, that He cares about you so much and has good plans for you. Hold on to those truths.
Whatever doubts you may have, know for a certainty that you are deeply loved by God, highly favoured and greatly blessed because of Jesus. Even if you don't feel like it, keep declaring those words over your life by faith because they are what God says about you.
HOLD ON TO THE PROGRESS YOU HAVE ALREADY MADE and have a lovely weekend.😊
