Life is a race.
March 2, 2018
Life is a race. In my running days, I enjoyed the down hill slopes on days that temperatures were cool. Most running days aren’t like that. Life’s races are seldom the down hill slopes either. Hebrews 12:1 instructs us to run with perseverance throwing off everything that hinders us and sin that entangles us. We can’t compare. Great wealth may be one persons pleasure to give to God honoring causes and another runners snare to worship and hoard. Its an inside thing. How do we know the difference?
One gauge is how tightly do we hold that thing or person. How willing are we for God to remove what we are grasping. Honest answers are revealing.
Truth untangles from the inside out. Only then can we really run.
