God Helps You Press On
Despite adverse circumstances,
Philippians is an encouraging letter
in the midst of persecution. There
is much for Paul to rejoice about
especially the church’s steadfast
testimony for the gospel. Though
that testimony is threatened by
divisions in the church, Paul is
confident unity will be restored
as they imitate the humility and
servanthood of Christ. And Paul
urges Rejoice in the Lord always.
Lord, we will Focus on the Goal:
I am still not all I should be, but
I am focusing all my energies on
this one thing: Forgetting the past
and Looking Forward to what lies
ahead, I strain to reach the end
of the race and receive the Prize
for which God, thro Christ Jesus,
is calling us (Phil 3:13-14). (For)
our citizenship is In Heaven. And
we eagerly await a Saviour from
there, the Lord Jesus (v20). Amen
Lord, help me to keep my eye on
the Goal, where you’re beckoning
me upward and onward to Jesus.
Keep me from being distracted
by the past; for my sins and wrong
choices have been washed in
the blood of Christ. Grant me
grace and strength not to turn
back. And help me keep my eyes
on the eternal prize – unending life
in your glorious presence. Amen.
Lord, You know all my needs
and promise to meet them.
I am comforted by the truth
that you know every detail of
my current situation; and that
Nothing catches you off guard.
Help me to seek You first,
to trust your promise, to live
in the “now” and to Stop
Worrying about tomorrow. Amen.
Lord, what joy to know that
I am listed among the residents
of Heaven. I praise You God.
Thank U for giving me eternal life.
Though this current life is filled
with trouble and challenges,
I know I am only passing through.
Grant me an Eternity mindset
so that I can endure the temporal
difficulties that come my way.Amen
