Anything And Everything

Scripture: 12 I’m not there yet, nor have I become perfect; but I am charging on to gain anything and everything the Anointed One, Jesus, has in store for me— and nothing will stand in my way because He has grabbed me and won’t let me go. 13 Brothers and sisters, as I said, I know I have not arrived; but there’s one thing I am doing: I’m leaving my old life behind, putting everything on the line for this mission. 14 I am sprinting toward the only goal that counts: to cross the line, to win the prize, and to hear God’s call to resurrection life found exclusively in Jesus the Anointed. 15 All of us who are mature ought to think the same way about these matters. If you have a different attitude, then God will reveal this to you as well. 16 For now, let’s hold on to what we have been shown and keep in step with these teachings. (Philippians 3:12-16 The Voice) Paul is saying in this portion of scripture that to keep pursuing all that we can have in the Anointed One, Jesus, can be like a race with a prize at the end. As mature Christians, we need to think more like Paul. Do we want anything and everything the Anointed One, Jesus, has in store for us? Are we willing to pay the price to stay in the race and finish strong? Father God, I do so want to stay in the race and finish strong. What is the anything and everything that You have in store me? I do know that Your unfailing love and faithfulness is with me. AMEN As You teach me to follow Your principles and give me understanding, I will obey You. The path of Your commands is where my happiness is. Psalm 119
