Scripture
“Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.” Philippians 3:12 NIV
Thoughts for the Day
The Christian life is a journey, not a sprint. James begins his letter reminding us that we are servants of God, called to faithfulness. Paul echoes this when he admits he hasn’t “arrived,” but keeps pressing forward. Walking in freedom doesn’t mean we are perfect—it means we’re pursuing consistency, letting God’s Word shape our thoughts, behaviors, and eventually our feelings.
Feelings can be deceptive. If we wait until we “feel like it” to obey God, we may never start. But when we choose to obey Him in thought and action, feelings of joy and peace often follow. Our faith is sustained not by fleeting emotions but by the unchanging promises of God.
Consider This . . .
What areas of your life reveal inconsistency between your faith and your daily habits? What practical step could you take today to bring them into alignment with God’s Word?
Father, thank You that I don’t have to live perfectly to walk with You. Teach me consistency. Strengthen me when I am weary, and remind me that faithfulness matters more than feelings. Help me take one more step forward today in freedom through Christ. In Jesus' name . . .
