The document discusses how to "press in and press on" with God through three key points: 1. Know God by understanding his compassionate and forgiving nature as described in scripture. 2. Develop a heart like Caleb that is wholly committed to following God no matter the obstacles, as Caleb demonstrated loyalty and vigor to God until old age. 3. Have a hunger and thirst for God through obedience, as emphasized in passages encouraging people to come to God and heed his words in order to find fulfillment and receive blessings, rather than relying on their own efforts.

promised, He has kept me alive for
45 years since the time He said this
to Moses, while Israel moved about

13. “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters;
and you who have no money, come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.
Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor
on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and
eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare.
Give ear and come to me; listen, that you may live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful
love promised to David.
Isaiah 55:1-3

14. The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!”
And let the one who hears say, “Come!”
Let the one who is thirsty come;
and let the one who wishes take
the free gift of the water of life.
Revelation 22:17

15. Consider carefully, what you hear, He continued.
With the measure you use, it will be measured to
you – and even more.
Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not
have, even what he has will be taken from him.
Mark 4:24-25
