Focal Point: Pt 5 - 5-Day Devotional: Jesus Grew - Day 2

Reading: Philippians 3:12-17

Devotional: Paul's words reveal a powerful truth: spiritual growth doesn't happen by accident. He pressed on, forgot what was behind, and strained toward what was ahead. Growth requires intentional effort. Just as a child learning to walk falls seventeen times an hour but keeps trying, we must persist in our faith journey despite stumbles. Don't let past failures define your future. God's grace isn't just about forgiveness—it's about transformation. You are not who you used to be. Stop identifying more with your old sin than with your new identity in Christ. Today, make one intentional choice to grow closer to Jesus, whether through prayer, reading Scripture, or serving others.

Reflection Question: What "one thing" will you focus on today to press toward your calling in Christ?
