Pressing On

Wow, we’re definitely at the half-way point through 2026! WHERE have the days gone? I’m sure we’re all wondering how fast the weeks since January 1st have accumulated. Winter is past. Most schools are either out or will be shortly, and we’ve definitely moved into Summer. Seems we just were dealing with the cold, rain, snow, and whatever else of winter. I’m a firm believer that the older we get, the days seems to go by faster. That’s not a proven point, but I’m sure many of you will agree.

My questions half-way through this year of 2026 is ‘how are you doing on renewing your mind’?

Have you been able to rise above issues and thoughts that plagued you before?

Have you become more grounded in the Word and His promises?

This is your mid-year checkup. This is the time to refocus on all that God has done for you through Jesus. It’s time to step into the strength and power of the Word. It reminds us to dig into the wells of God’s goodness, blessings, and love. Don’t settle for just getting by this month or the rest of the year. Dig into God’s promises for you. Seek Him with an eager and open heart. He only has good things for you.

Our God is a loving Father who delights in pouring out blessings, hope, and purpose. He is not against you, no matter where you are, no matter if you’re not sure about Him. He’s available and is calling you to come to Him, press in for ALL that Jesus has for YOU.

The more you do, the more you renew your mind, and the more you hold your head high in the face of difficulties confidence the Lord will bring you through…and, He will! Follow Hebrews 3:1 which reminds us “to set our focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.“

Yes, it’s time to press on: “But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind, and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”
