Press Forward!
This is the first day of the rest
of our lives. Having come before our Lord this morning in prayer,
and according to his faithfulness to cleanse and forgive, having
received forgiveness and cleansing, let us begin at the place where
we are at this moment, forgetting those things which are behind and
reach forward to those things which are before us. We can do nothing
about what has passed except to ask God to forgive us for our sins
and short coming, but by God's grace and enabling power, we can if we
will, take that which we have now and “Press toward the mark for
the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians
3: 14.
What is the prize of the high
calling of God? The prize of the high calling of God is: “That I
may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship
of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; if by any
means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.”
Philippians 3 10. The prize of the high calling of God is our Savior,
the Lord JesusChrist: “Who shall change our vile body, that it may
be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working
whereby he is able to subdue all things unto himself.” Philippians
3:20-21.
