Keep On Pressing On!
Philippians 3:14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Press On
Those two simple words mean a great deal.
They bring to mind an image of someone pushing into the wind, head down, one shoulder forward, taking one tough step after another.
During difficult times, the image serves as a reminder that giving up is not an option. Oh, you'll still get nervous and anxious, sometimes even fearful, but things/circumstances don't have the power to keep you down or force you to give up. God's got us covered!
He watches our back, lights the path ahead and surrounds us where we stand.
Psalm 139:5 You hem me in-behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.
2 Cor 4:8-10, 16-18 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
16Therefore we do not lose heart... 17For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Thank You Lord for Your Son Jesus. Help each of us to fix our eyes on Him and "keep on pressing on"! In the name of Jesus Christ.

Keep On Pressing On!
Philippians 3:14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Keep on
From the album "Zion Sing!"
Words and music by: Melissa Champlion
Keep on smiling, keep on giving
keep on holding on
I see the storm clouds just fading away
to a new horizon, a different day.
Keep on loving, keep on praying
keep on pressing on
Jesus is with you forever, don't give up or give in (to chorus)
CHORUS
Press on, press on to the higher calling
press on, press on to the higher calling.... press on.
2.
Keep on giving, keep on living for the Lord
I know He's coming again, coming to take us home.
You've got to... keep on trusting, keep on working,
keep on walking on
For this world has nothing to give us,
we're destined for hope, destined to win... (to chorus)
Press On

Press on
When a mistake threatens to swallow -
Press on.
When disappointment pulls into a pit -
Press on.
When you can't find your way -
Press on.
Whether today brings joy or brings sorrow -
Press on.
