"We March On" by Hillary Scott

Love Remains | A 13-Day Devotional By Hillary Scott

Day 10 of 13 "We March On" What does your road look like today? Is it smooth and easy? Is it windy and bumpy? Is it dark and blurry? Sometimes the valley's deep Sometimes the mountain's high Sometimes we get to rest Sometimes we have to fight Our circumstances in life can change in an instant. Things are going well and then something derails us, and suddenly the road ahead looks long and hard. Or, we can't even see it at all, and the future we were so sure about is full of unknowns. In the inconsistency of our lives, we have one constant: our hope in Jesus Christ. Sometimes, that hope is all we have. It keeps us going. It keeps us moving forward, even if moving forward looks like taking one small step at a time. We do what Paul did and "press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus" (Phil. 3:14). We march I'm walking on the upward way With a heart of faith Climbing higher and higher Holding onto the hand that leads We don't have to march on alone. We have a hand that leads us, a God who cares for us, a Savior who died for us. So when the way down here feels long, focus on the upward way, have a heart of faith, put one foot in front of the other. March on. Philippians 3:14 Philippians 3:14 KJV 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
