Pressing Toward The Goal: Moving On From Our Own Abilities

Greetings everyone, and may mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. We will be in Philippians 3 this morning. How far have your accomplishments gotten you in life? I myself have singlehandedly produced a podcast, run most of the technical stuff for our church, and from a vocational perspective, can professionally operate just about any vehicle safely. But these accomplishments and skills are useless when it comes to my salvation. No amount of computer knowledge or machine operating skills will get me to heaven. Our focus shouldn’t be what we can do for the Kingdom, but what God can accomplish through us. By standing by our own abilities, we only glorify ourselves, and accomplish very little. Walk in humility, move on from what you can do, and look forward to what He can do.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28 19-20
