Philippians 3:15-17

 

  1. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
  2. Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
  3. Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an example.

 

Those who are perfect or you could say spiritually mature should have the mindset that he just discussed in the preceding verses which is to press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.  To press on toward what God has called us to do, to forget the past and move on to what’s ahead. God will reveal to us if we don’t have this mindset.

He says to walk by that which we have already attained.  The Amplified Bible says to "hold true to what we have already attained and walk and order our lives by that."  He says to follow his example and those who live after the example he’s set.

Basically the word is to walk in the light of what we have learned in our Christian walk so far and continue to press forward towards what God has called us to do.  Continue to seek the Lord, doing what you know to do now.  We should thank God for where He’s brought us to but not stay content there.  Continue to move forward in Him.

 

Confession:

Thank You Father for what You have brought me out of and how You have taught me so far in my life.  I thank You for those You have brought into my life.  I continue to press forward toward the goal You have for me.  I continue on in my walk with You seeking Your will.

 

 

Obedience is a tree of life!
