Press Toward the Goal

"I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:14)

Because the story's setting is in Indiana, I'm pressing hard toward the goal of having next year's book, Fish Fry, out before the end of the school year with the release "party" at our sixth-grade grandson's Indiana school. 

In his letter to believers in Philippi, Paul wrote that he pressed on toward the goal of receiving the heavenly prize for which God through Christ Jesus had called him. The prize? Eternal life, God's promised gift for those saved by His grace through belief in His Son Jesus Christ.

Beloved, forget the wrongs of the past and look forward to the wonder that lies ahead. Press on toward the heavenly prize from Father God through Christ Jesus!
