RUNNING . . . Towards What?

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only ONE receives the prize? Run in such a way that you might obtain it. . . Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I FIGHT: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. (1 Corinthians 9:24-27)


Running . . . . Running . . . RUNNING . . . RUNNING . . . 


Do you find the days becoming weeks and weeks becoming months and months becoming years? Just running aimlessly or at the very least running and not accomplishing much if nothing at all? It can get that way in this world . . . even while doing good things! Paul encourages us to be disciplined. Set boundaries. Set small goals that can lead to bigger goals. 


Daily goals . . . Weekly goals . . . Yearly goals . . . Five-year plans and life-long strategies. God has a plan for each of His children but He will not plan it out. It takes deliberate praying, counseling, planning, laboring, and also times of resting . . .yes, RESTING


My pastor often reminds us all . . . Failing to plan is planning to fail. Have a plan and write it down; for you and all to see. (Habakkuk 2:2)

If you run aimlessly through the street you are bound to be hit, so if you run aimlessly through your spiritual walk you are bound to be hit by temptation and sin

This was a great message. If you never aim for a goal, you'll never hit you're goal.

I think when some people are on their way to Christ they get distracted by sinners and they want to do what the sinner do even if it is wrong and people need to stay focus on what God has assigned for us some run toward God. RUN, RUN, RUN AND DONT TURN BACK!!!!!!������

Some people are on the God and good road and a sinner comes and gets on the wrong road because u followed them and u just missed what God has assigned for you so some people need to just stay on the right road and run to God. RUN, RUN, RUN AND DONT STOP RUNNING!!!!!!!!!🏃🏽💨
