...Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13-14 NIV
Paul, just like us, is driven by hope.
Hope of something better.
But he's not living there, he's not in the "if only", "when I get there..." living in the future.
He's living in today's reality and going as hard as he can.
Straining
Pressing on.
Today.
In the now.
And that's how we should live, with our heads up and our eyes on that living hope,  and at the same time, going hard out for the kingdom, however that looks for you and me...
