Our Scripture reading today is Philippians 3:13-14.
Verse 14, "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
The Apostle Paul sets the example for us in living a life of advancing. We were saved
to live in the will of God and serve Him. It is a privilege to serve the King. The One
Who gave His Son for us is worthy of our pressing toward the mark. Luke 9:62, "And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
“It is a high calling because it comes from above, from God; the conception of it has emanated from His heart. It is a high calling because it is worthy of God. It is a high calling because it is so much above the ideals of men… And then this is a high calling because it summons us to where Christ sits at the right hand of God.” (Meyer)
By the grace of God, we can live for Him and surrender our lives to serve Him! It is
a high and holy calling.
