"I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

King James Version

What does Philippians 3:14 mean? →

Passage Context

12Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

Devotional Reflection

JoyPeaceGratitudeHope

To walk a tightrope, you have to keep your eyes on the goal and never look down or behind you. To walk with Jesus, we have to keep our eyes on the goal, which is His victory waiting for us when He comes back. We can't look at the ground (our mistakes) or at what's behind us (our accomplishments). The goal of the Christian life is to keep moving toward Jesus until we get to heaven and can walk with Him.

Prayer

Lord, I eagerly anticipate the day when You will address me by name and stroll alongside me. Until then, please assist me in focusing on who I am supposed to be rather than what I have done. I humbly ask in the holy name of Jesus and through Your grace. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

Lord, I can't wait until You call my name and walk with me hand in hand. Help me keep my eyes on what You want me to be until that day, not on what I've done. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
