Run The Race With Endurance!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! There are many types of races. But the race that we are in goes not to the one who is the fastest but the one who endures to the end. We live in what I like to call and what has been referred to many times as a "rat race"...not sure why except the only time I've ever seen a rat running a race is on a wheel with himself. That certainly describes my life sometimes. Nothing but a wheel turning faster than I can run. But our eternal race is set before us and we are to run that race with endurance. I think we are sometimes so worried about the outcome of our race that we forget to concentrate on the actual race itself. Why worry about the finish line when we can't even see over the next hill? The children's story of the turtle and the hare certainly says a lot. We are so focused on how fast we are running our race that we forget there are vital parts to our race. Another scripture comes to mind....for what does it profit a man if he gain the whole world, but lose his soul? It doesn't matter how much money we make or what kind of car we drive or how big our house is when we die. The only thing people will remember about us was our race. How kind were we to people, how many did we reach out to. Were we happy or sad, positive or negative. We can run the race with endurance. We just need to savor each leg of the race. Take time to contemplate our strategy, make every part of the race count. May we run our race with endurance. Include God, for he is our strength. Be Blessed!

Mar 8:36
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?


Hbr 12:1
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
