Many live life as if it was a 50 yard dash. It's not. Life is a marathon that takes consistency, vision, and hard work. We can't be moved by the day to day challenges that life brings. We must overlook the immediate hurdles and look towards our finish line. In Hebrews 12:1 the Lord said:
"let us run with endurance the race set before us" NKJV
Notice the scripture does not tell us to run the race fast. It says to run with endurance. I believe it is more difficult to 'run' in life when we have faced failure. We push through the challenges in faith and God receives glory.I also believe that God uses those times to prove the genuineness of our faith.
May you and I remember to keep our eyes on our Lord, and not be moved by each hurdle that God allows into our life. This change in perspective will enable us to not only be more effective in the Kingdom but we will have more joy along the way too.
