What adjectives come immediately to your mind when you think of an athlete or a marathon runner? The ones that keep circling in my mind are disciplined and passionate. They’re willing to get up early to practice – every day. They are determined and focused, willing to forego other pleasures and opportunities so that they can accomplish their personal or team goals. My personal question and prayer for this week are “is there a place in my life where I could use my time more wisely – for Christ and His kingdom?” “Lord, may the distractions of comfort, pleasure, lethargy, and age not distract me from running the race that you have planned and given to me. Thank You, that You are the One who has promised to keep me on track.”
