Are You In Training?

Regrets, mistreatment, injustice and unexplained difficulties can knock us off our feet. But Paul tells us how to keep running:

“Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead” we “press on toward the goal to win the prize” (Philippians 3:13,14)

• Straining to know God’s love that overcomes fear and unbelief even when we don’t understand our circumstances. (We need the Bible—God's Love Notes—for this!)
• Pressing on in prayer, knowing we're forgiven, knowing He’s our strength and Justice, even when we don’t see or feel the results.
• Focusing on the goal, knowing God will accomplish His purposes in us and through us.

Christians must be runners in training…no couch potatoes in this race!

But we have reason to REJOICE—the prize is fulfillment of God's purposes in this life and eternal life with Christ when our race here comes to an end.
