Do you like to run?
What is worth running for?
What would you run from?
Even if you don’t want to run, if you want something bad enough, you will run for it. If you won’t run to God, why not?
Maybe you are running from God, even. What goals have you set worth running for?
“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. [25] 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. [26] Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. [27] No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.”
-(NIV) 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
What is your attitude toward the gift of forgiveness Jesus offers? Do you wander around aimlessly figuring you will make it to the end in time, or do you run as to win a race?
