Good morning all,
The word of the day is “goals.” Back in high school I was
young in my faith and struggling with issues of anger and poor sportsmanship
during my athletics. I turned to my youth pastor to help me choose a “life
verse” that might spur me on. Kevin always had a good word, and at that point
challenged me to think of what God might want for my swim season. We prayed together
for God to speak. After countless passages and tons of thinking, we came up
with this:
“I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God
has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
~Phil. 3:14
Talk about a revelation! I realized that no matter what my
goals were in sports or life in general, that this was the ultimate goal in
front of me. Paul pretty much sums it up and says that we need to keep our eye
on the prize. My question for you today is: What are you doing daily to press
on toward a life in Christ? Tell yourself right now that this year is going to
be off the hook! My prayer for you today is that you get wrapped up in JC… and
as you set your career and spiritual goals… never take your eyes off him.
Praying for you,
mo
