1 Corinthians 9:24 (NKJV) 24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.
As a young girl, I was fast. I was even faster than my brothers and faster than all the boys in my class. I often took first place in the races on field day at my school.
I remember feeling bad at times for always being the fastest. But I loved to run and I would give it my all.
As I grew up, I noticed that before a race or a track meet, if I was feeling scared or intimidated in any way, my speed was limited. I did not run as fast, my strength was lessened, and I would not do as well.
Having confidence helped me to run better.
No matter what race we are running today, there will always be fear or intimidation somewhere along that road. Don’t avoid it. Don’t try and take a detour or different route. It will slow us down when it comes to reaching our destination.
Face it. Speak to it by not backing down or running away from it. Stand firm with confidence in God, knowing that all things are possible with Him.
We can win! Amen.
Matthew 19:26 (NKJV) 26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
