I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 12b and 13b-14 NIV
Christ paid for us with a costly price, the shedding of His blood. We must continue to press on with the purpose to which we have been called. Christ did not tell us that our life, following Him, would be easy. Yet, we must do so as we were purchased for His purpose.
We should only dwell on our past for strengthening ourselves for what we must now do. Living in the past, otherwise, is a trap to be avoided. We cannot change the past. All we can do is learn from it, and apply what we have learned to making ourselves a better servant of the Lord. We have been called heavenward by our Lord. It is the finish line to which we strive to attain. We know it can only be achieved through living our life through Jesus Christ.
We must put forth the effort required to reach the goal to which we were called. We go through tests in our walk with the Lord. A big test is moving forward in Him every day. Spend much time in prayer with the Lord. Read God’s word. Submit to the Almighty in every way and you will attain the goal, heavenward.
