Isaiah 66, Philippians 3:4-21, Psalms 74:1-23, Proverbs 24:15-16
What God said to me – With a new year you always find yourself deluged in weight loss ads on television and on your social media feeds. If you have ever gone to one of their websites and gone through the evaluation quiz, they create a plan customized for you. They usually ask if there is some future event that you want to look good for – it becomes your motivation to “stick” with the program. Athletes also usually maintain their consistency and train and perform their best when they follow a plan and they keep their eye on the prize. The same is true of My children. Your life is not just a series of random events – it is a well thought out plan I have created just for you – to transform you into My image as you walk with Me. When you learn to keep your eye on the prize of My upward call in Christ Jesus, you will find you quit waffling and backsliding in your walk as you press on in your daily walk. I didn’t just save you “from” hell – I saved you “for” glory so press on. Keep your eye on the “prize” – life with Me.
