SPRING FORTH NOW 2025

Tuesday, October 7, 2025

I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back. So let’s keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision—you’ll see it yet! Now that we’re on the right track, let’s stay on it.

Philippians 3:12-16 (MSG)

Paul’s words remind us that intentional living is a journey, not a destination. Intentionality is the daily decision to keep pressing forward, even when the finish line feels far away. In that steady pursuit lies Hidden Manna—the quiet strength and renewal that come from knowing Christ is both your goal and your companion along the way. Intentionality means letting go of what’s behind, freeing yourself from regret or distraction, and staying focused on the calling God has placed before you. You don’t have to be perfect to be purposeful; you just have to keep moving in faith. Every step taken with determination and grace brings you closer to the fullness of His promise. Today, run your race with a steady heart, trusting that God is feeding you with unseen strength for every stride forward.
