As I reflect on the film, I thought of many races and games, and a couple of marathons I’ve ran. I think of challenges that I’ve faced and the things that I have been faced with.
I never want to get to the place where all I can say is I was running. I want to be forever in the place where I run and move forward.
Progress is one of the most significant things that we can see in life.
Think about it. Progress, even a minuscule amount of it, can make the difference between you quitting, starting over again, staying at the same pace, or increasing speed.
Progress is important, when we assess the situation and are certain that we are progressing, we propel forward.
– Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain (I Corinthians 9:24).
– I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all (Ecclesiastes 9:11).
I never want to speak of running this race in past tense.
Morover, I declare and I decree:
I will run the race that is set before me diligently (Hebrews 12:1).
I will press toward the mark (Philipians 4:13).
I will run, run, run, until the Lord says, ‘Well Done, My Good and Faithful Servant’
