Please read Philippians 3.
Meditate on verse 14.
I press on toward the goal for the prize
of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Paul’s
addressed the attitude of the Philippians in this letter. He exhorted them to
have the attitude of Christ Jesus and regard others as more important than
themselves (Philippians 2:3-5). Paul challenged the mature believers to press
on in the call of God in Christ Jesus for their lives. God would reveal their
wrong attitudes (Philippians 3:14-15).
It is time
to check your attitude. Your attitude is the foundation for your behavior. God
knows your attitude; you cannot hide it from Him. Pride, rebellion, and dishonesty
are a few of the attitudes God hates (Proverbs 6:16-18). You do not want an
attitude that God opposes (James 4:6). Ask God to reveal attitudes within you
that are not pleasing to Him. Then pray Philippians 3:12-15 over yourself and
those for whom you stand guard as faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, reveal to _______ and me attitudes that are different from Yours.
Make us
mature with the attitude of Christ.
Jesus,
You have laid hold of us;
for that
reason, help us to press on.
Let us
forget what lies behind
and reach forward to what lies ahead.
Help us
press on toward the goal
for the prize of Your upward call, God.
In Christ
Jesus~”
