The Race. Our Christian life is a race, not one of sprinting, but one of endurance.
We make our life interesting to say the least. Because we can truly say that our life is not one of performance or perfection, but of pushing on to the end.
We come to a place where we get moments of clarity followed by landslides of doubt.
`And this is the life we are to live. This is not an anomaly, but one of normality. Our life, remember, is getting us ready for eternity, not this life as the end goal. So, what we are going through is beyond the scope of our worldview here, and embraces the kingdom view of God’s plan.
If we think that 95% commitment is easier, we deny the fact that our brain will find any weaknesses and those weaknesses overtake our 95%. When we are 100% in, we don’t leave room for the enemy to get a foothold.
To renew our mind, we need to not let doubt creep in because doubt is a new mind’s enemy.
The Holy Spirit works inwardly and outwardly to set the circumstances that witness to us of Jesus’ great power and Divine healing. Allow Him to lead you into the race, no matter how hard the race may seem at first. Training for a marathon is much harder than the race itself if we train properly. Living a life with Christ is much harder than the actual day to day minutes we have to endure.
But amazingly worth it!
