Philippians 3:14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
It threatened to rain in Hapeville one night last week so Joe and I drove to Jess Lucas Park to walk around the track. The idea was that if it did start to rain the car would be nearby. It didn’t take me too long to figure out that I didn’t like walking in circles. After what seemed to be an eternity, I looked at my stopwatch to see that we’d only been walking for 17 minutes. I was ready to give up and go home. That’s what we do sometimes when we get hung up and can’t seem to reach our destination. We get discouraged and weary. Know that God wants us to succeed and will help if we ask in accordance with God’s will. That means that we aren’t asking God to help us do something that is bad for us. God won’t always hand us what we want, but God will help us strive towards the prize.
Abba Father, Today we give you praise for all of creation. Strengthen us this week as we make our plans, set priorities and set forth towards our goals. May we finish this week a better person than when we began it. We ask in the name of the one who pleads our case before you. Amen.
