FORGET - FOCUS - FUTURE

Team:

What do we Focus on?

What do we Forget?

What is the Future?

Sometimes we Focus on the past don't we?

Here Paul tells us to Forget the past!

FORGET - FOCUS - FUTURE

"No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
—Philippians 3:13–14

Friends, sometimes we get strangled with the past. The enemy wants us to remember our failures. He tries to remind us of our failures to take us out of the game.

FORGET - FOCUS - FUTURE

Paul was just like us. He had some baggage from the past that kept haunting him.

Paul was saying I have not achieved what I need to achieve. I cannot be Complacent!

God has so much more in store for our future.

The Lord wants us to Forget the past because He knows the past can strangle us.

FORGET - FOCUS - FUTURE

So how do we Forget the past? Paul says to Focus on the Future.

Look Forward to what is ahead! Look Forward to the Finish Line.

Have you ever looked through a telescope that wasn't Focused? You can't see anything because the image is blurred.

FORGET - FOCUS - FUTURE

Our perception is the same way. When you look at your goals are your goals blurry?

When you look at Jesus is your image of Him blurred?

If so you might want to Forget the Past. Our past can really blur our Future.

FORGET - FOCUS - FUTURE

Sometimes the Past is more in Focus then the Future. This will trip us up hinder our progress.

We must Forget the Past and Focus on the Future!

FORGET - FOCUS - FUTURE

Just Go!!
