I was just listening to Johnny Cash. I could listen to him all day. I was listening to the song “Drive On”. It is about a vietnam veteran, and the term that was used when a buddy fell, or someone was wounded- “drive on, it don’t mean nothing”, when it really meant everything.
I bet Paul would have loved this song. In Philippians 3:12-14, Paul writes “forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead” DRIVE ON.
As I have been trying to wrap my head around what we are actually heading into with the world race, the Accuser keeps reminding me of past failures, current faults, weaknesses, wounds- who do I think I am? DRIVE ON.
“Drive on, it don’t mean nothing, my children love me, but they don’t understand, I’VE GOT A WOMAN WHO KNOWS A MAN”
Do I have a woman who knows a man? Does my wife know a man? Am I the man my wife needs me to be? That is a goal-DRIVE ON!
Paul says “I press on toward the goal to win the prize…” What is the cost?
“I got a little limp now when I walk, and I got a little tremble now when I talk, I finally found out who I am, I’m a walking talking miracle from vietnam”
Paul told what pressing on has cost him. I bet Paul had quite a limp. I bet he trembled a bit when he talked. The world is still trembling from Paul’s walk and talk. Jacob wrestled with God, and was left with a limp. I have wrestled with God my whole life, and have a real limp, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Am I willing to gain a limp and a tremble because I have wrestled for God? DRIVE ON.
