Running For God

The Casual Runner He runs when he feels like it. For this Christian, the sacrifice demanded by the race is just too high.

The Cautious Runner He thinks a lot about the race, but he plays it safe and seldom leaves the starting blocks.

The Compromised Runner Unwilling to lay aside present pleasures, he has given into temptations to run outside his prescribed lane. He has few convictions and takes no costly stands in life.

The Callous Runner This veteran runner is a cynic and is critical of people. Preoccupied with his injuries, his heart contains layers of thick, tough tissue made of bitterness, envy or apathy.

The Committed Runner This person is determined to win and knows where the finish line is. "In training" at all times, he knows victory is never achieved by the fainthearted.

Prayer: Ask God for the strength to finish the race that is set before you, and that as you run you will "feel His pleasure."
