…I press on to take hold of that which you, Jesus, took hold of me. (Phil. 3:12b)
The verse isn’t much different from the original because Paul has made it personal himself in his letter.
This verse is important at this point because it has been a super busy last couple of weeks, and my times in the Word have not been as deep and long as had been previously. The message to persevere comes at a good time, and that is my prayer today.
Lord, help me to press on. I want to take hold of the very thing you called me to – to know you and love you and serve you in your strength. Lord, help me to press on and not become so distracted by busyness that I begin to slow down for lack of attention.
