Sometimes we are early. Sometimes we are late. Things happen. I remember a time my husband and I showed up at a wedding when the bride was already down the aisle at the altar. The God of the Bible has perfect timing. He is never late. He is never early. We can count on Him!

Romans 5:⁶ For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. ⁷For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. ⁸But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

What does that mean to you?

What does Jesus Christ’s dying for you mean to you?

What does Jesus Christ’s love for you mean to you?

Our challenge – Dearly Beloved,

Run with your eyes on Jesus alone!

Run in faith that Jesus loves you with an everlasting, unconditional love; has uniquely designed  and created only one you; has a good plan for your life; runs with you; and will accomplish His purposes for you and through you!

Run in His strength alone!

Run with your eyes on the prize!

Run with your focus on His mission: to conform you to the image of Jesus Christ!

Run with the desire to finish strong!

Run with the desire to finish with your lamp burning!

Run with the expectation of being in His physical presence when you cross your finish line!

Run to His glory alone!

Run and keep on running!
