“I press on toward the goal to win the prize
for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 3:14
The devil would love to get you distracted
and get you off the course on which God has placed you.
He strives to make any number of ‘other things’ more attractive.
He thrives in discouraging you from following God’s plan for your life.
God has something He wants you to do,
so don’t substitute good (or atractive) for the best.
Find out what God wants you to do
and refuse to be distracted by the devil.
You need to say as the apostle Paul said,
“This one thing I do!” (Philippians 3:13)
Know what it is that God wants you to do
and do it with all your strength for His glory!
He saved you so that you can be with Him one day,
but He also saved you to serve Him before that day.
Satan will try to blind you into thinking that
whatever God wants you to do is work
so that you will fail to see the blessings of serving Him.
Not only personal blessings, but blessing that others
experience because you obediently serve Him.
Isn’t that what we all desire – to be blessed and see others blessed?
Take a few minutes and think about a mission statement
for your life in Christ, focusing on “that one thing” (TOT)
that God has called you to do.
Then, remind yourself to stay focused on
the calling of God for your life.
