Prize of the High Calling

By Ptr. Jeric Magallanes

Living a victorious spiritual life requires a consistency of purpose. The Apostle Paul’s desire to experience the fullness of Christ's resurrection power became the controlling factor in his life. His words "I press toward the mark" (Philippians 3:14) describe a runner racing hard with his head forward, body bent, and eyes on nothing but the final tape. Such was Paul's fervent attitude in reaching out toward the spiritual goals of service and blessing. If we would show the same oneness of purpose, we would likewise be filled with joy, experience victory over sin and trials, and possess a deeper sense of God's presence.

Let us press toward "the prize of the high calling of God"!
