Philippians 3:13-14 One thing I always do. l Forgetting the past and straining toward what is ahead, I keep trying to reach the goal and get the prize for which God called me through Christ to the life above.

When the apostle Paul said there is "one thing I always do", it is time to sit up and listen. Paul summarized his goal in life and shared a couple of quick tips on how to persevere toward reaching it. That makes his advice not only important, but extremely helpful to those with the same goal in mind.
Paul's images of "straining toward what is ahead" and "trying to reach the goal" paint a picture of a long distance runner whose focus on the rewards of the finish line gives him strength to persevere, on step at a time. The goal Paul pointed to is God's call to run toward a Jesus -centered life, leaving his self centered life behind in the dust. The prize he longed to reach was not eternal life, because Jesus's death has already achieved that. Instead, Paul pursued a mature Christian life, on that yielded rewards both in heaven and earth.
Paul's purpose and process for perseverance provide practical applications we can use every day of our life. Put your past mistakes, victories, and self reliance behind you. Focus your attention and energy on Jesus, not on those running the race alongside you. Keep moving forward........your endurance increases the harder and the farther you run. Keep the finish line in sight. It doesn't mark the end of your life; it marks the beginning of an eternity spent in the winner's circle with Jesus, the One who enables you to be victorious.
Persevering toward maturity in your faith takes both personal effort and the transforming power of God's Spirit. God works through you as you do His work.
