One thing I do.
"Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before" (Philippians 3:13 KJV). As born-again believers, we do not rely on ourselves. We learn as we live each day to trust the Holy Spirit and to walk not under our own understanding, but with the mind of Christ daily. Our achievements are not done through ourselves, but through Jesus Christ our Savior, to Him be the glory. Paul the apostle is not boasting in what he has done for Christ nor in the knowledge he has obtained, but he boasts only in the Lord Jesus Christ, who has saved him from a life of sin. In life, one can achieve great things and brag about them for years, but the bragging will all come to an end. As we serve the Lord, we never stop growing in Christ. Every time one turns another page of the Bible and reads through the Scriptures, they can be amazed how God feeds them through His Word. God never stops feeding those who hunger for more of Him. New revelation is given to those who thirst to drink deeper of the Living Waters, and great mysteries begin to show up upon the pages of these Holy Scriptures. "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" (vs. 14). We will never be a finished work until we get up to Heaven and stand before God the Father. Keep seeking Christ and expect growth. God bless you. Amen
