Move
Move if you can — regarding health. Staying still is not healthy.
“But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize of GOD’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus.”
Shepherd’s Note
Paul does not describe a man looking back wistfully or settling where he stopped. He describes someone straining toward what is ahead, pressing on toward the goal because GOD has called him heavenward in Christ Jesus. That is the heart of this word. Moving is not about speed or strength. It is about refusing to shrink back and refusing to retreat. So today, do what you can. Take the step that is in front of you, however small it looks, and take it toward Him. Then tomorrow, by His grace, take the next one.
