This month millions of people have made resolutions, but sadly most resolutions are abandoned within two weeks. How can we make our resolutions our realities? Philippians 3:12-14 gives insight about reaching these goals.

- Fully Confess Your Shortcomings (v. 12a) - Paul confessed he had not yet "arrived." He still needed to grow. In what areas do you most need improvement?
- Find Your Destiny (vv.12, 14) - Paul pressed n to lay hold of that for which Christ laid hold of him. Do you have a driving agenda in life, given to you by Christ?
- Forget the Past (v. 13) - When Paul said he was forgetting what lay behind him, he was referring to past accomplishments. Don't rest on your past deeds or be hindered by failures. Put it all behind you and under the blood of Christ.
- Focus Your Aim (v. 13) - "One thing I do." What does God want you to do in the coming year?
- Forcibly Pursue Your Goal (v. 14) - Paul's imagery of "pressing on" is of a runner straining for the tape (Heb. 12:1-2).
