Philippians 3:14
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
What of 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.
Let us Pray:
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.
Words of Wisdom
We must live WITH hope, yet we cannot live BY hope. It is fine to hope for the best. That, however, is not enough. We cannot merely hope we must take action.
It is sad how many things are tolerated in the hope that they will improve. Hoping for the best won’t do anything. Working and taking action, with hope in your heart, will bring about results. That’s a powerful combination. Hope works in your favour only as long as it is accompanied by action and commitment.
Hope cannot replace action. Do what needs to be done, hope or no hope. Hope for the best, and do everything in your power to make it happen. Yes, there is hope. Things will get better — when you make them better.
Start each day with hope, and then get busy working. Let your hope inspire you, rather than console you. Hope for the best, and then do whatever it takes. Hope depends on you.
Hope…
Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper.
Believe it or not…
