Philippians 3:13-14 The High Calling Of God In Christ Jesus

Posted on Posted in Devotions Tagged with ,

Philippians 3:13-14 (KJV) Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

It was in imprisonment that the Apostle Paul gave these words of persevering faith to complete the work that our Lord has tasked to him. He will not let anything that will keep him from completing his course.

Rather he says, “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Like an athlete in a race, any distraction to look back can cost him the race.

He was determined in the strength of the Lord to press toward. To reach forth for those things that are yet unaccomplished and the accomplished them for His glory. Amen.
