THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 2022 Scripture
Reading: Philippians 3:2–12
Additional Scriptures: Genesis
13:1–7, 14–18; Psalm 27
Pressing towards the goal of our calling is
the responsibility of all Christians and our objective in life should be to
finish the race that is set before us and seek to attain to conformity to His
death - which is death to the self-life - so that the life that we now live is
a unsoiled reflection of the beauty of Christ in us.
Multiply Thy strength, O Lord, in
the souls of Thy humble servants, that while we ever worship Thee in Thy holy
temple, we may, together with Thy holy angels, rejoice in beholding Thee;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with Thee and the Holy
Ghost, One God, world without end. Amen.[2]
Strengthen us, O Lord, by Your
grace, that in Your might we may overcome all spiritual enemies, and with pure
hearts serve You through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You
and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.[3]
