God's people...we're all called to the race

God's people…we're all called to the race-not all stay in it. God's grace is the fuel required to run the race-without it we're left to our limited intellect, stamina & talents. God's grace gives us the ability to exceed our own abilities-where we end...He begins! True humility embraces apart from His grace we can do nothing, but with His grace we can do all He calls us to!

Daily seek God (first) in all things, renew your mind with the Word & apply it to everything you do-consistency is the key to success! You will run into trouble & trials will wear you down, but don't be discouraged-God will bring you through each one. Jesus has gone before you-His love gives the race a purpose! Still the race is grueling, fatigue consumes you some seasons & you consider giving up. Fatigue is a sign to rest & be restored-it doesn't mean you're weak; don't try to be a superhero...God's not impressed! The enemy wants you to believe you don't have what it takes... he's a big fat liar! God made you for the race & His love enables you to run with confidence. Focus on your run-don't compare yourself to others; God only looks at your progress. You will encounter obstacles of hurt, rejection, lies, grief, fear, unfairness, ridicule, sadness, fatigue, offenses & unknowns-each one enables His power to be perfected in your weakness. Apart from Him you won't make it. God's finishing this race by your side & it's not over until you go to Heaven! Do life with other Christian friends who stand on the Word & will speak God's truth to you.

You are God's people, purposed & equipped for this race-it's won! The question is...will you keep running in it? (2 Cor 12:9, Gal 6:4-9, Ps 34:19, Pr 14:12, Phil 1:6, Eph 2:10) LMM #runyourrace #focused #endure #godspeople #christianinsightforlife
