I Press Toward the Goal

The runner who endures is not merely the one who avoids stopping; it is the one who keeps pressing forward even when every fibre of flesh says to stop. This is what Paul modelled and what he calls every believer to embody.

The "upward call" is heaven's beckoning, not merely a call to go to heaven when you die, but a call to live heavenward now. To let Kingdom priorities govern earthly decisions. To run toward what God has called you to be and do in this life, while keeping your eyes on the eternal prize. Press toward it consistently, persistently, faithfully, every single day.

PRAYER:
Gracious Heavenly Father, I renew my pursuit today. Let me press with fresh energy toward the goal You have set before me. Not for personal glory, but to faithfully answer the upward call. In Jesus’ name! Hallelujah! Amen!
