                   Keep Your Eyes On The Prize!

Keep your eyes on the prize!  Fix your gaze on the King and draw from His
power.  If you keep looking at the goal -- the end of the row you are 
plowing -- you will hardly feel how tired you are.  There is a time to rest 
and a time to work for the Kingdom.  What time do you think it is?  Which 
way are you looking? Are you afraid and looking down, or are you being 
encouraged, taking heart, by looking up and to the King?

Stop looking at the great and small things you've done for Me. Forget the
things that are past, that are behind you.  Be like a marathon runner and
press toward the mark of the prize of the upward call in Christ.

You are running your own race, but you are not alone.  Pull together or you
will hang separately.  Remember that you are running together and not against 
one another.  You are competing against the flesh, the world and the devil 
and time, which stops for no man until I say, "Stop."  So keep on pressing 
on to that prize of the upward call. 

Press forward, or you will slide back, for there is no standing still in 
My Kingdom.
