The Race

Let us run with perseverance in the race God marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer

and perfecter of faith (Hebrews 12:1-2). Your race is your own personal journey with God- the season that you go through. Every season of life is your own personal process. Imagine running in a race, but you are the ONLY runner on the track so that means you are DESTINED to win! During the race there may be hurdles, rocks, rain, hail and even people trying to trip/distract you, but keep the determination because there is an end goal- JESUS at the finish line! Along the way you may even stop and take a break but DON’T give up.

Keep pushing, keep running, keep believing, keep the faith.

Whatever you’re praying for, keep believing until you see it come to pass. Keep running and God will take care of what’s ahead. When you get weary or tired, take a water break-rehydrate your soul with the Word. Get a pep talk through the scriptures from the coach Himself and you’ll be able to get back on course feeling stronger than ever. Just like the song lyrics say, “He never said it would be easy, but you're a winner in the end,” In order to see that, you can’t give up. No matter what you see in front of you, there is a God who can work miracles! Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us (Ephesians 3:20). He made the blind see, lame walk, deaf hear, raised the dead, so why wouldn’t he do the impossible for you? If you show God the fight in you, He will reward you.

The race may be long but there is purpose driven, hope and promise in the race. Faith is established, miracles happen, doors open! Belief is restored- I believe God is doing something, He is moving in the race! God told me to remember Isaiah 43:19- See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. I am sent to tell you that God is making a way out of no way for you and you have to believe it by faith! He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted (Job 9:10). I am even believing that for myself because I want to see my prayers answered! You have to stay on the right track for Him- run the race in a way that would make Him proud. He has trained us as believers to be the fastest runners on the track. He has equipped us with the best tools/training to win. We can’t get on the track and freeze up- we can’t forget everything we’ve been taught. The enemy can try to take our spot, but he’s not even competition! He doesn’t stand a chance unless YOU allow him.

Run like you already have the crown. Keep running because you know Jesus is at the end. Run like you’ve never ran before because you will WIN.
