Philippians 3:14 NASB "I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."The heat was intense, the smoke was thick and the flames grew higher! Today's Word speaks to us about pressing on. There were a million reasons to back off the ladder and get back on the ground but there was one reason to keep pushing forward. There was a report of someone trapped on the second floor, and with the first floor stairs burned out, we needed to get up the ladder and in the window to check for that person. In life, there will be obstacles that will try to keep us from pressing forward. They may be the ridicule of family and friends, those that knew us before we came to Christ but there is always one reason for pressing forward, and that is to share Jesus! Sharing Jesus by loving on them can keep them from the flames of hell and that's the one reason to press forward! Keep moving forward no matter what the obstacles are, someone's life may just depend on it! peace, tom
