In Philippians 3:10–14, Paul gives us an honest and refreshing glimpse into his journey. Even as an apostle—someone believers looked to for wisdom and guidance—he admits, “I haven’t reached my goal yet.” But what makes Paul’s words powerful is not just his honesty, but his determination. He refuses to quit, give up, or let past failures hold him back. He can’t change what happened, undo mistakes, or rewrite where he fell short—but he can “press on” and “take hold of Christ.” And that’s where this message connects to our series Right On Time. Paul reminds us that even when we feel behind, God isn’t. Our progress may feel slow, our journey may feel messy, but as long as we keep pressing forward, we’ll arrive exactly where God wants us—right on time. Don’t let your past convince you you’re too late. Let go of what’s behind, reach for what’s ahead, and trust that God’s timing is perfect.
