living with a purpose: running our race

living with a purpose: running our race by ric gustafson


Hebrews 12:1-2 says ' And let us run with endurance the race that is set before us fixing our eyes on Jesus'. Each of us has been given a race to run. Sometimes instead of looking toward the finish line, we look at our competition. We stare at the runners around us and not on the finish line. Sometimes we slow down or even stop running altogether.
God wants us to focus on our race. He wants us to train every day and focus on our lane. We need to focus on the finish line and not to get distracted. Reading God's Word will help us focus on the finish line which is Jesus Christ. I Corinthians 9:24 says ' Do you know that those who run in a race all run but only one receives the prize, run in a way that you may win'.
God wants us to stay focused on the finish line which is Jesus Christ his Son.
