You move in the direction of your focus.
When you focus on the past, you move away from the goal. But when you focus on what’s ahead, you see the prize, and it draws you forward.
Beloved, it’s time to take ground. Are you willing to let go of the past and turn around? If so, you’ll see the heavenly prize I have set before you.
Are you ready to take My hand and run towards it? Together, we are unstoppable.
Stay laser-focused on what’s ahead. Fight the temptation to look back no matter how hard it gets. Press on resolutely. Before long, you will reach your victory lap and see the sweet face of Jesus waiting.
Declaration:
I declare that I will not be one to focus on the past. Instead, I will focus on the prize and move forward with You, God. I will not let distraction, obstacles or stumbles stop me no matter how hard it gets. I will fix my eyes on Jesus and allow Him to motivate me all the way to the finish line. In Jesus’s name, amen!
13 [a]Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead,
14 I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13-14 (AMP)
