THE FOCUS OF THE FAITHFUL! Have a blessed day to all! Not that I have already obtain all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, I press on towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenwards in Christ Jesus.(Phil. 3:12-14) The Olympic Athletes are amazing individuals. What amazes we most is the concentration, dedication and focus that is needed to even make it into Olympics. Those athletes have been training and working every day for years in order to get to this one competition. Determination and focus is necessary to reach the highest goals. Paul tells us that in order to grow as christians, We must be focused and determined. We will not grow if we dont work at growth. Salvation is by grace alone through faith. But growth requires that we work with God. Paul wrote, I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death.(v10) These are Pauls goal. It is important to realize that God has a job for us to do. He has called us to something. We are part of his plan. God does have a plan for ur life. His plan will lead you to joy, fulfillment content and eternal blessing. God bless u all!
