Forgetting those things which are behind. Philippians 3:13

The swimming relay team had battled its way to the finals.  

Margaret, third swimmer in her team, watched team member number one get off to a bad start.  In a moment, it would be Margaret's turn.  

'If only that first swimmer had done better,' Margaret could have complained.  Instead, she thought, 'I'm going to give it my best now.'  Although her team was too far back to win, Margaret's lap brought them very close.  

God tells us to forget the things which are behind and do our best for Jesus today.

Prayer: Father, thank You that the past is forgotten for Jesus' sake.  Help me to live for You today.  Amen.
