“You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? ”Galatians 5:7
Around the first of the year, many of us resolve to pick up our pace in the race of life. We set new goals for ourselves. We get in a positive attitude and position ourselves to run well.
All of us who resolve to run well must be warned; many forces unite to wear us out with delays. Discouragement can drain the strength of the most determined. Beware of distractions. Let us not allow ourselves to drag our feet, change our course or to give up. Those tempted to slow down or to drop out, don't give up, but persevere.
“You were running superbly! Who cut in on you, deflecting you from the true source of obedience?” Galatians 5:7 (Message Bible)
Obedience or disobedience? Which will it be? To delay or drop out is disobedience. To persevere is obedience and promptly do what God has set before you.
PRAYER: Dear Lord Jesus, you finished the work your Father gave you to do. By faith I pray to obey you and cross the finish line a winner. The forces against me weary my soul, but I look to you, The Finisher of my faith. Thank you Lord, Amen.
