Genesis 8:20-9:29; Job 11:1-12:25; Matthew 6:1-18
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14
Paul tells us to forget the things that are behind and reach for the things that are ahead (v 13). For those who are getting older it’s so easy to look back on the good old days thinking that they were better than now. In some ways perhaps they were, but in others not as much. What the past held, good or bad, cannot be compared to what is ahead! Are you running for the prize? Your race may be a short sprint or a marathon, long and grueling! Persevere that you
may obtain the prize! – Jim Paul
Onward to the prize before us! Soon His beauty we’ll behold;
Soon the pearly gates will open – We shall tread the streets of gold. —E. E.
