The race of your life . . . . for your life

The race of your life . . . .  for your life 

I Cor. 9: 24

Do you not know that in a race [the onward movement to a
fixed  boundary or goal]

ALL the runners compete, but [in this race only] one receives the prize?

So run [your race] that you may lay hold of the prize and make it yours. [everyone who finishes this race – wins!]
--------------------------


Pray the Word:
Lord, we are all caught up at some point in our life where life seems more like a treadmill than a marathon ---  and there doesn’t seem to be an apparent purpose or direction and we’re tempted to abandon hope or surrender the dream. This is a time when disillusionment can come, when we feel tired and discouraged; and we’re tempted to quit the race. But. . . .in one stroke, the possibilities for our lives can be extended far beyond anything our mortal mind can comprehend – if we don’t give up in the race.

Thank you for reading my blog of thoughts, encouragement and instructions the Lord speaks about to me. It is simply my therapy to write down these things as I walk my journey out with Him. I would love to hear back from you. Each new day is a blessing! Dorothy
