Pressing On


Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 3:13-14

That first phrase here gets me every time I read it because I identify with it so much. And you should too. No one has “laid hold” of the “power of the His resurrection” (Paul speaks of in v.10). That power is experiencing eternal life – it’s the prize of which he speaks. However, he keeps working at it. Are you?
