One Verse Devotional

In order to move into your future purpose, you MUST let go of past mistakes! Did Paul (in the Bible) have bad math? In our One Verse Devotional today, (welcome to the podcast, btw!), Paul says “this one thing I do” and then goes on to list two things. Was math different back then? Was Paul stupid? No and no. Paul was a very well-educated man. But he is using this as a word illustration to point out and teach us a critical principle of life. In order for us to be able to move into the future and live out our God-given purposes, we have to let go of our past mistakes, sin, guilt, and shame. I know this because I’ve lived this. For over 10 years! I just couldn’t get over my guilt and shame, but I would still try to step into God’s will for my life. And it was impossible! Why? Because we have to do this ONE thing: Forget what is behind AND move into what is ahead at the same time. 1+1≠2 in this verse. 1+1=1. If we follow this principle, it will allow us to step into God’s best for our lives. Please, let go of you
