A Christian must press on in their life, striving for the goal and forgetting past difficulties, as they seek to please their King and gain favor through prayer and supplication, ultimately seeking to plant their feet on higher ground.

Welcome to the Days Appraise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Upward Way And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Ephesians three. nineteen. The hymn Higher Ground acknowledges the difficulties of the Christian life.
But we press on, ever striving for the goal. A Christian must be habitually forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. Philippians 3:13. And so it is in the hymn. I'm pressing on the upward way, New heights I'm gaining every day Still praying as I'm onward bound, Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
All faithful warriors must remember that they are fighting for the King. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please Him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. Second Timothy two four. Many successful soldiers in the Lord's army may be gaining new victories each day. Although in the bigger picture, these may go unrecognized by others, and sometimes even by the individual soldier.
But these efforts and soldiers will be commended by the one for whom we are fighting. Our endeavors must always be bathed in prayer as we seek to gain his favor. Our supplication must be, Lord, grant me victory over any sin which besets me. Provide me favor today as I press on in your service. Give me opportunity to teach your word to those in need.
Give me fruit which lasts for eternity. An earnest plea that touches God's heart has great power, and we can look forward to seeing it work mightily. As the hymn teaches, we can expect Him to plant our feet on higher ground.
