I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in
Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14
The athletic example Paul uses has no age, or gender associated
with it. The only prerequisite is to know, love and obey the Lord
Jesus. In the youthful spring of our lives we press on with enthusiasm
and energy, in the middle aged summer of our lives it’s with
patience and wisdom gained through experience, and in the older fall
of our lives we press on with quietness and determination. The
devil’s plan is to discourage us in every season, but the Bible says
press on! —Charlie Tempest
This world is not my home, I’m just passing through;
My treasures are laid up, somewhere beyond the blue. —A. E. Brumley
