Natures Way of Teaching Us to Press On...

While living in Alaska, in late summer, the salmon spawning season would begin. Wisdom shared from God, using natures display of pressing on.

Loss, loneliness, pain, lost truth, helpless: todays path is not an easy road to continue traveling. There are so many roadblocks of division. Change gains confusion in direction. Is quitting an option?

It was amazing watching the salmon finishing their race, as they headed towards the spawning pool where their life had once begun. An inner instinct drove them to return home no matter their distance of the vast sea they were leaving behind. It was hard for me at times to watch. As they were returning upstream, many were battered and some bleeding as they continued pressing on to reach their goal. Many were swimming very slow, some were even dying during their journey home in silence. They were so committed, no matter what their circumstance, no matter what the cost. Once their final goal of laying eggs was met, all would die.

Php. 3:12-13 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind, and straining toward what is ahead, 2Co4:18 2Co12:9,10 Col3:1,2


Lord, the road of life these days is not an easy walk. Lord, may it be Your strength that carries us through. May it be Your rainbow of hope Lord that lights our path. May Your power rest upon us during our weakness. Lord, as the drums of time beat, may we hear it from our hearts and keep in step with Your message: the message of PRESS ON. E-me-nv, Amen.
