Eyes Forward — The Prize Is Ahead

Scripture: “I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 3:14 (NKJV)

Devotional Message:

As you step into this new week, God is calling you to press forward. When He begins to birth new ideas, fresh vision, and divine strategy within you, it’s a sign that your next season is unfolding. But it’s also the time when the enemy tries hardest to distract you—reminding you of past pain, old disappointments, or unanswered questions.

You may find yourself wondering, “Why did that happen?” or “Why did they leave?” But don’t get stuck there. What’s behind you cannot compare to what’s ahead of you. Every closed door and detour was part of God’s design to position you for greater.

This week, make a decision: don’t look back. Your future is too bright, your calling too high, and your vision too valuable to lose sight of the prize. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your faith. He’s not just writing your story—He’s redeeming every page.

Reflection:

• What memories or past moments try to pull your focus away from your forward path?

• What steps can you take today to stay aligned with what God is showing you now?

Prayer:

Lord, thank You for the fresh vision and divine push You’ve placed in my spirit. Help me to keep my eyes fixed on You and not on what’s behind me. Strengthen my focus, renew my faith, and remind me that the best is yet to come. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
