Are You Ready for The High Calling?

Since the holiday is now over, the question is are you truly ready for the new year? The need to move forward in life is at hand. We make plans, yet all plans take time and consideration. It is through both prayer and faith in Christ Jesus is essential to growing closer to God.

The Joy of Jesus is pushing toward "The High Calling in Christ Jesus." All we really need to do is to follow Jesus. We have been in deep prayer for all people in need.  The economy is improving, new jobs are being created, people are not losing their homes so fast, yet violence and crime are still ever-present.

In conclusion, we must continue our walk with The Lord of all Salvation. Jesus gave His life on the cross for our salvation. God raised Jesus from the grave on the third day. Jesus said that He will return and set all things straight. The question is: Are you ready for The High Calling in Christ Jesus and all His Joy?

Young's Literal Translation to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Barnes' Notes on the Bible I press toward the mark - As he who was running a race did. The "mark" means properly the object set up at a distance at which one looks or aims, and hence the goal, or post which was set up at the end of a race-course, and which was to be reached in order that the prize might be won. Here it means that which is at the end of the Christian race - in heaven. For the prize - The prize of the racer was a crown or garland of olive, laurel, pine, or apple; see the notes at 1 Corinthians 9:24. The prize of the Christian is the crown that is incorruptible in heaven. Of the high calling of God - Which is the end or result of that calling. God has called us to great and noble efforts; to a career of true honor and glory; to the obtainment of a bright and imperishable crown. It is a calling which is "high," or "upward" - (ἄνω anō) - that is, which tends to the skies. The calling of the Christian is from heaven, and to heaven; compare Proverbs 15:24. He has been summoned by God through the gospel of the Lord Jesus to secure the crown. It is placed before and above him in heaven. It may be his, if he will not faint or tire or look backward. It demands his highest efforts, and it is worth all the exertions which a mortal can make even in the longest life.

HEALING

The healing presence of Spirit fills every cell of my being.

I call forth the healing activity within each cell of my body. Observing my state of mind, physical activity and nutrition, I identify any patterns that are not in support of my highest good. With help from Spirit within, I have the strength to release unhealthy habits and establish new ones in alignment with divine wholeness.

Throughout the day, I mindfully practice an expectancy of and gratitude for wholeness and peace of mind. My body and mind are empowered to restore, resurrect and function with new life, strength and vitality. The powerful healing presence of Spirit touches every cell of my being. I am healed and brimming with zest for life.

On the day I called, you answered me, you increased my strength of soul. --Psalm 138:3
