Race With Grace!
"I will run the course of Your
commandments, for You
shall enlarge my heart."
Psalm 119: 32
Jaime Chien of New York City began
running
for exercise in 2013 after watching a friend in
a marathon. Now she’s a force to be reckoned
with in the world of running.
“What keeps me going is being able to motivate
other people,” she told Runner’s World. “There
are times I don’t feel like running…. But I
lead a
Monday night running group, so people are
relying on me.”
The Bible compares our Christian
life to a running course.
“run in such a way” that we’ll obtain the prize
(1 Corinthians 9:24), to “run with endurance”
(Hebrews 12:1), run without stumbling (Proverbs
4:12), “run and not be weary” (Isaiah 40:31), and
to finish our course (2 Timothy 4:7).
Next time you are discouraged, reach out
and encourage a fellow believer in Christ;
you will both end up being
encouraged!
"Discouraged people don’t need critics.
They hurt enough
already….
They need encouragement."
Charles Swindoll
