Keep Your Eyes On The Prize

Philippians 3:14 KJV “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

We grow by our questions. So, let us ask ourselves some critical questions about our lives and purpose as Christians. Is what you are currently keeping your eyes on and passionate about important and lasting? Have you ever asked yourself this question: What will really matter at the end of your life on earth? Will what you are giving attention to now still be important then? Or, will you be filled with regret for what you did or did not do? It might be a good idea to stop and evaluate how you are investing your resources like time and money. 1 Corinthians 9:24 NIV states “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.”  Run to win. Win what?  The true prize is to know God intimately and walk with Him to do His will. We should run for the sake of giving our best to the One who gave His best for us. The Christian life is not only a race that we must run well; it is also a race that we must finish well. So, fix your eyes on things that of eternal value (2 Corinthians 4:18). One day, no matter how long, you will stand before God. Why not order your life now based on that “final day?” A wise person would not invest everything in something temporary. A wise person invests in something that will last. Invest your life wisely!
