Running the Race, Part I

I had an interesting experience the other day when I was attempting to maintain my physical prowess by running a couple miles. As I was running, I started off strong and managed to get a good ways at a decent pace, but as the run continued, I began to get more labored. I eventually began to walk and had a good opportunity to get some thoughts off my chest and talk to God. As I walked and talked with God, he managed to impart some wisdom to me in regards to life. God even went as far to relate it to the very exercise I was performing. God wanted to draw the comparison of how I felt exercising and the scripture (Heb 12:1) involving a spiritual race. I encourage you to look up the passage involving running the race and join me in studying about how God relates to us in even the simplest way. The next installment of this series will involve how we are to run a race!
