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?
