A while back, I read the story of Seabiscuit. He was a horse who won 33 of 89 races in the 1930’s. The amazing thing about this racehorse was the fact that he was smaller than all his competitors, was difficult to train and loved eating and sleeping. However, he was a winner.
He reminds me of many of the saints in both Old and New Testaments, and some of the saints living at the present time. Most would never be considered by the world to be winning material, but they have proven themselves in the race of life.
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.
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,
Give it some thought, even if you are an old nag.
