14 All in Verses for Men

DAY 3 OF 14

Are you stuck, stalled, or just completely sapped? Trying to figure out how to press on one more day?

Well, here comes hope!

This is Vince Miller.

Our text today is from Philippians 3:13-14. It reads:

Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. — Philippians 3:13-14

Every man is going to find himself at that point. At some point, you will feel stuck, stalled, or sapped. But Paul, in this verse, provides us with some great wisdom. Wisdom that we need to press into. Wisdom that, if we can remember, will help us forget.

There are two operative ideas in this text.

The first is"forget."You have to forget. But do not forget everything. Just forget the right thing. And the right thing to forget is the wrong thing that you did. The truth is we all do wrong things. Things that end us in situations we don't need to be in. Things that result in suffering for us and others. And some of us will stew and stir on these things until shame wears us down. Until we are imprisoned by our thoughts, which shackles us to inaction and apathy in our life.

The second is"remember."This word is inferred in this text, but it's a strong and clear inference. We are told that in those moments, we are stuck, stalled, or sapped to remember one thing. The thing that lies ahead. The thing we are supposed to press and strain toward. The prize that's already been won. You don't have to win it or work for it. It has been won for you by Jesus. All we have to do is press, strain, and hear the one voice we are supposed to be listening to. God's voice calling from heaven —"Run like you've won, and press on until time is done."

So today, what do you need to forget? The voice of the past you've failed to forget. Confess it. Forget it. And then remember to press on.
