Looking Over Your Shoulder?

Looking Over Your Shoulder?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who want to forget what lies behind and push toward what lies ahead. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Ever been plagued by something that happened long ago? Don’t get bogged down by dwelling on the past. Run the race of life with concentrated focus. Race to the finish line.

Philippians 3:13-14 (NIV) tells us about this race.

“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, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”

Stop pondering the past. Think about a glorious future. What happens when believers reach life’s finish line? The prize of life everlasting with Jesus awaits!

Why Do You Run?

Why Do You Run?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know they are running the race to obtain the prize.

Serious athletic competitors are dedicated to training. Famous and not so well known athletes report spending long hours to prefect their skills.

Believers and followers of Jesus should train hard. Yet, some believers take life causally. This type neglects focusing on the end goal.

Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 9:24-25 provides encouragement for anyone running life’s race.

“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.”

Prepare in such a way as to win the race. Run. Persist. Obtain the crown that will last forever.
