Run Your Race Well!
Vignettes
ππ»♀️Run Your Race Well!
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. 2 Timothy 4:7 NLTππ»♀️
How is your race, your race of life, your Journey With Jesus going? Paul, when he came to the end of his life, knew without a doubt that he had run his race well!
ππ»♀️Paul said of himself, I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. Are you running your race well? Will you, too, be finishing strong? Are you keeping the faith, or are you sitting by the wayside, having started strong but now your faith is flagging? Are you merely watching the others running their race, maybe heckling or criticizing their form, yet doing nothing to get up and go, to stir up your gift and the measure of faith that was given to you, into action?
ππ»♀️I know it's a personal question but it would help you and build you up to answer honestly, How is your personal Journey With Jesus going? I am asking you these things because I believe God wants to see you Run and Finish Your Race Well, and so do I.
ππ»♀️God said, You need to finish your race strong and well. His Words changed my outlook on my life and my personal Journey With Jesus forever, and it has catapulted me into a new and fresh Season of my life! How you answer the question, How well do you want to finish your race? will determine how well (or not) you will finish the race set before you!
ππ»♀️God has a good plan for each of our lives, as we know.
π"For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."
Jeremiah 29:11 NLT
ππ»♀️You may have seen some of that good plan of God for your life unwrapping already in your life! A good marriage, family, blessings, a career, etc. But did you know that is not all God has in store for you? God always has more in store for those who love Him!
πThat is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.”
1 Corinthians 2:9 NLT
ππ»♀️What you are enjoying in your life right now is not 'it!' It's not the end of what God wants to do and can do in your life! God loves to bless His people with more than they could ever ask, think or imagine! He is the Giver of Abundant Life after all! Jesus solidified this truth when He declared,
πThe thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
John 10:10 NKJV
ππ»♀️I really hope you will be joining me on this run in my New Series, ππ»♀️Run Your Race Well! There's not much you will need for this race except a willingness to learn and an open mind and heart; the tried and true map and the water that gives life, your Bible; good running shoes or the shoes of peace, and a desire to go deeper as you draw nearer to the Course Leader, Holy Spirit!
ππ»♀️Hope to see you all warmed up and ready for the race weekday mornings! It will be challenging, as reaching your fitness goals always is, but, in the long run, you will love the results! Let us get ready to pour the fresh and the new into our Journeys With Jesus!
