I Press On

I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. — Philippians 3:14 

Paul reminded the Philippians that he was pressing on toward the goal God had called him toward.

God calls each of us to His goal.

And Oswald Chambers reminded me today that God wants us to grow closer to Him through the process.

Not to receive any benefit except to grow holy.

Not even to accomplish the end goal.

Rather, to do God's will throughout the journey.

God has called us heavenward in Christ Jesus.

And He will accomplish His purpose.

Whether He accomplishes it through us, He leaves to us to decide.
