About this image
Raw, calloused, blistered -- but not letting go. The rower's hands grip the oars with a tenacity that goes beyond physical strength into something else entirely: purpose. The water stretches behind, the horizon ahead, and the dawn is just beginning to break across the lake. Close-up, you can see every detail of the grip -- the whitened knuckles, the worn skin, the blisters that have been rowed through until they became calluses that have been rowed through until they became blisters again. Philippians 3:14 is the battle cry of the long-haul believer -- not the convert at the altar in the first flush of faith, but the Christian at year 20, year 40, year 60, still rowing. Paul wrote this letter to the Philippians from a Roman prison cell, chained to a guard, uncertain whether he would live or die. And from that cell he did not write a letter of complaint or despair. He wrote the most joyful letter in the New Testament. "I press on" is not the statement of a man who finds the race easy. It is the statement of a man who finds it hard and does it anyway. The prize Paul pursues is described as "the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" -- not earthly success, not comfort, not approval from other people, but the voice of God calling him higher. That call is what gives the rower the strength to grip the oars one more time. Not talent. Not technique. Call. You row because Someone is calling you across the water, and the sound of His voice is worth every blister. Free HD download.
