Who's Race Are You Running?

Well, Rick Perry did it this morning! He dropped out of a race that he was not going to win. The word tells us in Hebrews 12:1 that we are to run the race that is SET before us. If we are running a race that is set, then we must ask ourselves the question…. Who set the race there? Who put that lane in front of us?

We've been talking about making our move, following not wallowing. When we follow, it's a path or (in a race) a paved lane. Who set it there?

Whoever set the lane in front of you, that is who’s race you are running. We too often run a race that others want us to run. The race that is set before us can be one that God created and placed there. If we chose His race, Hewill give us His grace, and we can run for first place!

1 Corinthians 9:24 instructs us to run this race in a way that we can win! Are we running with intentions on winning? Are we in it to win it?

Perry dropped out today and if you are running races and swerving in lanes God has not set before you, you should drop out too! Perry could have simply finished his race. He could have continued to invest time and money into the campaign but he would not have finished with Joy.

What race are we running today? Better yet who set this race before us? I pray we are all running the race that Christ Jesus has set before us. I pray we are running with expectations that we will win this thing! I pray we can examine if tradition, circumstances, or man’s influence has us running a race that was not created for us.

Stay in your lane! Serve don’t Swerve.

-Pastor Randall
