Straining towards what is ahead

"I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus"
Philippians 3

"Isn't it legalistic to memorise scripture be disciplined in reading the bible daily, to attend bible studies...?"
"Not if you are digging for treasure!"

What are you doing to dig for treasure?
When will you dig for treasure?

How I face the difficulties today will shape the person I will be tomorrow.  I don't want to wander aimlessly, I don't wan't to fight as one beating the air - I want to press on to know Jesus to become like Him and be found in Him - Jesus please help me!
