The Olympics are just round the corner now, and we will see the greatest competitors in the world doing their utmost to win the prize.
For Christians the prize is ahead of us, as Paul writes:
“I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:12-18 [NIV]
Paul has no question that he is doing his utmost to win the prize. He has left the past behind and is putting his all into living for Christ.
To Reflect:
Think about Paul’s words.
How do they make you feel?
What do you want to do about it?
Put your thoughts and feelings into words in prayer.
Tim Norman
