Greetings to all, as we set out to begin this new week, let us ask the Lord for His guidance and the strength to be ready to face whatever this week may bring. Amen
As Christians, we should be on our marks, ready, set, and Go mode. We can be ready and bold with each passing day because nothing can harm us or stop us when we depend on God and do what is good.
1 Peter 3:13-14 (TLB)
13 Usually no one will hurt you for wanting to do good.
14 But even if they should, you are to be envied, for God will reward you for it.
Philippians 3:14-18 (MSG)
14 I'm off and running, and I'm not turning back.
15 So let's keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision—you'll see it yet!
16 Now that we're on the right track, let's stay on it.
17 Stick with me, friends. Keep track of those you see running this same course, headed for this same goal.
18 There are many out there taking other paths, choosing other goals, and trying to get you to go along with them. I've warned you of them many times; sadly, I'm having to do it again. All they want is easy street. They hate Christ's Cross.
Lesson: We are all runners in life, and our lives are like a marathon, a long-distance race, but we sometimes treat it like a sprint, a short distance race.
No matter the race we find ourselves running, we must not neglect to prepare for that race, and we need to know what type of race we are running.
Are You Ready To Run Your Race Set Before You?
