Philippians 3:13-14 King James Version (KJV)
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Dear Friends,
This one thing I do each day that God allows, I press toward the mark. The mark is for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Each day is a separate journey and yet a journey of the whole. As children of the Most High, each new day affords us an opportunity to be salt and light in this world. Amidst challenges, trials and sometimes overwhelming odds we keep pressing. We press knowing that at the end of the press there is a joy that awaits us. Heaven is in our view.
This one thing I do. I seek to encourage the lives of other believers in their walk with the Lord. There is the realization that even as we press we are being "pressed". There is an enemy that pressures us to distract us and tries to make us take our eyes off the prize. Yet, through the indwelling of God's Holy Spirit we are able to maintain the course. We have the power to stay the course. We are enable to keep the faith. God has given us all that we need to keep pressing.
This one thing I do. I thank God for all He has provided. I thank Him for His grace that is beyond amazing. I stand in awe of the Lord's presence and marvel at His great love for me. Jesus Christ the Lamb of God sacrificed His life for you and I.
This one thing I do. I praise God for saving me.
God bless!
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie
