*1.* “Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” *2* “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old.” *3* “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.” *4* “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you.”
