The Race Is Not Won by the Strong One, but to the Person who Endures!

The race is not given to the swift or the strong but to the one who can endure!

Life has a way doesn’t it……to break you down, trun you around, or politely sit you down. Then what do you do? What do you do when you know there is a gift inside you that has yet to flourish, you have tried everything in your power to make it happen and still you get nowhere? When you’ve prayed and cried  until your eyes were bloody red and your head hurt from the combination of emotions, worry, and confusion. When you see your peers take off in their career or an enemy succeed, what do you do?

 Do you give up, say forget the whole thing and try something new. Isn’t it funny when you take that approach you find yourself right back where you were, working hard to fulfill your dreams.  Do you relinquish your efforts to please God and fall back into sin because its comfortable….yeah God has a way of correcting that behavior as well, and brings you right back to that place, that place where you are supposed to be, not necessarily where you want to be, but where you should. I want to acknowledge your pain, your anguish, and your breaking point today. Its real and you are not alone, however I want to remind you that this race is not given to the swift or to the strong. Its not won by the tortoise or the enemy…..this race is won by the person who can endure!!!! The person that perseveres during every storm  and season, on every kind of terrain and can literally operate with what they started with...the clothes on their back and shoes on their feet. The person who can set their mind on things above, trusting that the God of the universe will not leave or forsake the.

 Keep at it my friend, Keep Going. Your best has yet to come!

Be Encouraged
