RUN TO WIN!

The Bible says to run the race that is set before us.  The Apostle Paul said all runners run to win. One statement is true; You can't win sitting in the bleachers!

Life has many hurdles that hinder others from running well or even coming out of the blocks.  They watch as a spectator or "from the locker room" hearing the cheers for the other runners. 

                                                  IT'S NOT JUST SHOWING UP!

                                   TO WIN AT ANYTHING IT FIRST REQUIRES:

                                                *Technique
                                                *Strength building
                                                *Flexibility
                                                *Training

Winning the prize, promotion, job, class, degree,  takes an intentional effort and preparation.  The Bible writer says:  "Throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

                                                                YOU CAN WIN!

Make the Connection

This is a great time to connect or make that re connection with God. Check out Luke 2, we see the love of God come to the forefront.  While there is much intentional noise and distraction attempting to turn people from the true reason of the season, God calls and draws us to Himself, through His Holy Spirit and faith in Christ.

I for one have realized and know peace with God, as well as the peace of God.  It then becomes a relationship, not a world religion.  We can thank, praise and worship Him, in song and lifestyle, not only for what He has done but who He is as well!

 Keep on truckin' to Luke Chapter twenty-four.  Make that connection or reconnect with God today!  

Amazed

There were occasion Christ was amazed by the faith of some people he met.  Some not even of the Children of Israel."

In the book of Mark He had done many great miracles and taught the crowds.  They were amazed at His power and authority.  In Mark six they had little faith.  He could do only a few miracles. They were even offended by the message.

It says He was amazed by their unbelief. Amazed by the faith of some. Amazed by the lack of it in others.

With what group, do you and I stand ?

Where Sin does abound, Grace does much more abound!
