The upward call

31 January  2013   

Philippians 3:14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Each person has a specific call in Christ Jesus and each person has a goal to achieve through this call. We do this by keeping our eyes on the goal, and this goal is to reach towards the perfection of Jesus Christ who in His perfection has already reach out to us. Each day is part of reaching that goal, and when we take our eyes off of Jesus we loose focus and so do not attain the goal of our calling in Him.

Everyday we need to see our purpose in that day, we do not move aimlessly, but we move and live with purpose in Christ Jesus. We will on occasion seem to be struggling with our goals, our purpose and the temptations along the way. We then need to stop and remind ourselves of the reason for our salvation, and return our focus to Christ Jesus crucified for us.

Be encouraged today to set a goal as you respond to the upward call of Jesus Christ.
 
David

Point to ponder: You have a goal in Christ Jesus.

Question to consider: Do you understand your upward call?
