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~”
