Pressing for the Mark

 

You can have the best intentions and still your plans do not turn out right. How do you move from that? How do you keep going?

The answer for me is to keep my eye on the goal at hand. Even when the goal seems unachievable and unreachable. But to be honest sometimes those days of unachievable and unreachable can be long, dark and just plain hard. Personally I have set some goals for myself that I thought I could obtain. I took all of the necessary steps to achieve the goal. It seems that right when I was at that point of seeing the light at the end of the tunnel the rocks fell and closed the other side of the tunnel.

I do pray! I do read my Bible! I do have faith!

Now I have to reevaluate if those marks that I wanted for myself are in the will of God's plan for my life. Is it possible that I am not wanting the things that God wants for me? Do I reach too low? Should I want to reach higher?

As I continue to press for the mark, I have to constantly question is the mark for me to be satisfied or for Him to pleased?
