Press Toward The Prize

"I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."  Philippians 3:14.  At this very moment, do you know where you are going?  Have you established in your mind what you desire to accomplish?  Our life upon the earth is very brief compared to the eternity that is to come.  The desires of  individuals differ.  The accomplishments of each one vary.  Above all hopes and dreams we should center our attention upon the future of our eternity.  Our will should be to press on, and not look back.  We must resolve to consider the prize for which God has called each of us.  God's calling is a high calling.  It transcends any earthly calling.  The calling of God secures for us a future that holds promise.  God's calling gives security and expectation.  The prize of eternal life has been offered.  This prize is unequaled.  It surpasses all earthly attainments.  The most denied of this present world can attain the calling of God and obtain the prize before us.  The prize cannot be obtained without effort and commitment.  We must press on.  The prize will not come in a moment.  We must press on.  The prize is in Christ Jesus.  We must know Him and live for Him.  Of any marks that we attain unto in this life, we must be sure that we attain unto the prize which is in Christ Jesus and comes through the calling of God.
