Philippians 3:12-14
12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
I love a good book. My daughter and I take turns every month finding a book we can both read and then discuss. She is a historical fiction kind of girl and I am more the cozy mystery type. But like any other genre you may want to read, books would not be nearly as much fun if you opened page one started to read then turned to page two and found the ending. That whole idea of intro, plot, climax, and conclusion is what keeps you reading.
I think sometimes in our lives, we concentrate too much on the beginning and ending and forget about the journey. Every part of our life has an intro, plot, climax, and conclusion. There are lots of twists and turns. When one chapter ends we start the next one. The important part is to keep reading! Today is but a single page in this chapter of your life.
Lord, help me learn to enjoy the journey and not try to string together a bunch of endings. ~amen
