Pressing Toward The Mark!
To know God is to Love Him, to Love
Him is to serve Him. We must be trans-
formed to become like our Savior Jesus
Christ. It's not easy, but with God, we can
do all things. I believe that this is what God
has called each of us to do, to be like
Jesus.
We must die to self and the desires of
our flesh. We must be willing to trust and
our heavenly father.
We must learn to press our way through all obstacles of this world even when
we don't feel like it. We have to press.
As the woman with the issue of blood pressed her way through the crowd to
receive her healing, we must press on to receive our blessings. Press is to
move by weight or force in a certain direction or into a certain position. There
is a blessing in the pressing.
God has promised us that He will Pour water upon him that is thirsty,(Isa 44:
3a). I ask you, are your thirsty for the living water? God has promised to
quench our thirst and He is not a man that He should lie.
We must forget those things, which are behind us, let us press toward the
goal for the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Phil 3:13-14)
NKJV
Come, let us extend our arms toward God, trusting Him, and following Him
wherever He leads us. Let us press on!
