As Christians, we can start out running this Christian race eager to fulfill the purpose and the plan God has for our lives. However, there are times when the trials and tribulations of life can weigh us down and hinder us, keeping us from reaching our goal, especially when we find ourselves in unfamiliar territory. It almost makes it easy for us to lose sight, lose focus and get off course, not finishing the race set before us, in order to reach our destination.
When you look at the life and mission of Jesus, we have the perfect example of someone who was a finisher. There is a mark and there should be a goal you are trying to reach. Not so that you can obtain a prize for yourself, but because there is a prize you are not able to see, which is a crown of righteousness, laid up for you in glory.
Every day that you are blessed to wake up, make it up in your mind that you are on a mission to complete your goal and finish what you started. Keep a fight down in your spirit, to preserver through every trial and every storm the enemy tries to throw your way.
You have to have the tenacity of the Apostle Paul, in order to reach your goal and finish the work God has called you to do, laid on your heart and placed down in your spirit to do.
This episode is to encourage you today to keep running, keep fighting and "Slay Your Course!"
