[:en]PRESS ON
Apostle Paul compared the Christian life to a race. He wrote: “I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. I press on toward the goal to win the prize” (Phil. 3:13-14). Paul did not look back and allow his past failure to weigh him down with guilt, nor did he let his present successes make him complacent. He pressed on toward the goal of becoming more and more like Christ.
We are also running this race. Despite our past failures or successes, let us keep pressing on toward the ultimate goal of becoming more like Jesus. We are not racing for the earthly prize, but for the ultimate reward of enjoying Him forever. -(Marvin Williams)
