Words of Encouragement

 

July - 30 - 2006

Have you ever thought about walking a tight rope? The way to walk a tightrope is to keep one's sight on the goal, looking neither down to the ground nor over our shoulder at 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.

Paul wrote in Philippians 3:13,14 that is helpful for us today.

13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,

14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Let us pray.

Lord, we look forward to the day when you call us by name and walk hand in hand with us. Until that day, help us fix our eyes on what you want us to be and not what we've done. Help us turn our eyes upon Jesus, your Son.

By the holy name of Jesus we pray.

Amen.
