As I woke up this morning all I could think about was this word...pushing. This simple word lead me to really think about what was Paul really saying when he said he pressed on and strained toward what is ahead. This scripture sent my train of thought in a completely unspiritual direction as I thought of a Katt Williams bit where he talked about want to be around those who were pushing. If they were doing the same thing that they did last year he did not want to be around them. Is this this same mindset that we concerning our Christian walk? The following verse that Paul writes says that we must all have this mindset. It is time that we surround ourselves with with people who are not satisfied with yesterday's successes but are pushing forward towards that high calling which Christ Jesus called us heavenward. Remeber it is a high calling and only those who have the discipline to press will get closer to it.
