PHILIPPIANS 3:12-14 MSG
I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made.
But I am well on my way, reaching out for CHRIST, who has so wondrously reached out for me.
Friends, don’t get me wrong:
By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this,
but I’ve got MY EYE on the GOAL, where God is beckoning us onward—TO JESUS.
I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back.
Jesus is advancing us.
To live for Jesus is the best goal we can ever have.
When we have His Word and wisdom, then we can discern what is right and wrong.
We don't have to prove to the world that our God is real.
We don't need to prove anything to anyone.
PHILIPPIANS 3:15-16 MSG
So let’s keep focused on THAT GOAL, those of us who WANT EVERYTHING GOD HAS for us.
If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment,
God will clear your blurred vision—you’ll see it yet!
Now that WE'RE on the RIGHT TRACK, let’s STAY ON IT.
Where might you be going (The Illusive Dream)
Where might you be going this fine day my friend,
Off along an aimless road that soon must end,
Chasing and illusive dream that shines so fair,
But when found, it isn’t there.
I can understand your weary sigh, my friend,
There, but by the grace of God go I, my friend,
Come and LET HIM LEAD YOU to your journey’s end,
Oh come along and WALK WITH HIM.
If without the grace of God your life should end,
And before the face of God you’d stand, my friend,
What would your illusive dream avail you then?
So COME along and WALK WITH HIM.
