“Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning a lion wakes up.
It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle
or it will starve to death.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle,
when the sun comes up, you’d better start running.”
Everybody must run, but most run for nothing. The Bible has a lot to say about running to win. We must allow the Word to be our coach as long as we breathe.
Hebrews 12:1
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air.
You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?
Come on, you big couch potato. Get off that recliner, put on the armor of God, get out there, and run. Your lack of spiritual activity has made a wreck of your body.
Give it some thought.
