Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but one thing , forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
WE NEED TO KEEP OUR EYES UPON THE THINGS SET BEFORE US
The world and it's pleasures can easily distract us from truly serving God and walking with Jesus. People seem to get sidetracked from what is really important. Many will sacrifice their souls for riches and the souls of their children for careers and status.
Many sacrifice the spiritual well being of their families for the benefit of some corporation. Whatever your career is just remember that jobs are a way to support your life. They are not life itself. God has given you abilities and talents to use for His honor and glory. Don't waste them all acquiring things in this world that will too soon perish or be left to others.
Education is a good thing but just like many other good things it can get you sidetracked. Our schools have taken a nose-dive in their quality and effectiveness ever since they expelled God and His word.
Every goal should be Christ centered and Christ oriented. Keep your eye on the real goal.
