Don't Stop Pressing Toward Your Destiny: Never Give UP

Philippians 3:12-16 (AMPC)
"Not that I have already obtained it (this goal of being Christlike) or have already been made
perfect, but I actively press on so that I may take hold of that (perfection) for which Christ Jesus
took hold of me and made me His own. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have
made it my own yet, but one thing I do; forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to
what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of
God in Christ Jesus. All of us who are mature [pursuing spiritual perfection] should have this
attitude. And if in any respect you have a different attitude, that too God will make clear to
you. Only let us stay true to what we have already attained."

Philippians 4:13 (AMP)
"I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for
anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-
sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency]."

Isaiah 41:10 (ESV)
"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Psalm 27:4 (AMPC)
"One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek, inquire for, and [insistently] require: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His Presence] all the days of my life, to behold and gaze upon the beauty [the sweet attractiveness and the delightful loveliness] of the Lord and to meditate, consider, and inquire in His temple.
