There are many reasons God's people don't finish what He calls them to, but the reason I hear most is the rejection of God's grace. God's grace is our fuel to run daily-without it we're left to move forward in our intellect & stamina. Regardless of how smart & strong a person may believe they are-they have limits...God has none. We need His grace daily-it gives us the ability to go beyond our own ability. We can't run the race without His grace. That settles it for me-what about you?
Agreeing with this truth is step one-step two is being purposed in renewing your mind daily with it, step three is putting it into action. A mind not renewed daily with God's truth will not experience the victory He promises. Don't let your own reasoning remove you from the race God's called you to. Jesus has gone before you & laid out the course-every step has been ordered; however this doesn't exempt you from disappointment, falls or injuries. You will have many troubles & God will deliver you from each one. His love gives the race a purpose...His grace gives you the strength to run it with joy!
Let's be real: the race is grueling. You will be exhausted many days & might consider giving up at times; maybe you already have. None of us are exempt from exhaustion-it's a sign to rest & be restored-it doesn't mean you're weak. Don't try to be a superhero-God's not impressed when you try to move forward in your strength. The enemy wants you to believe you don't have what it takes...he's a liar! God made you for the race-you have what you need to win. Focus on your run & don't compare yourself to others-God only wants to talk to you about your personal progress. Persevere & move through the obstacles of hurt, rejection, lies, grief, fear, unfairness, loneliness, ridicule, sadness, fatigue, disappointment, offenses & unknowns. Each one makes you rely on Jesus more-His power is made perfect in your weaknesses; independent of Him, you won't make it. When what you see doesn't line up with what you expected-don't drop out of the race…put your hope in God's power not man's wisdom-God will bring to completion what He started long ago! The race isn't over until you go to Heaven; if you're breathing-you're expected to run. Do life with other Christians who will be honest with you-real friends challenge where you are in the race, not to judge you but to hold you accountable. God purposed & approved; don't let anyone tell you different...the Spirit of Jesus lives in you-enough said! You are God's people-He planned this race long ago & it's won! The question is...will you keep running in it?
