Today’s Verse for Tuesday, July 28, 1998

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

Thoughts About Today’s Verse…
The way to walk a tightrope is
to keep one’s sight on the goal, not on the ground or what is behind.
The way to walk with Jesus is to keep our eyes on the goal, his victory
waiting for us when he returns, not on the ground (our failures) and not
what is behind (our accomplishments). The goal of the Christian walk is
to keep walking toward Jesus until we walk with him in heaven.

MY PRAYER…
Lord, I look forward to the day when you call me by
name and walk hand in hand with me. Until that day, help me fix my eyes
on what you want me to be and not what I’ve done. By your grace I ask
it. Amen.
