running the race

today as i do devotion, this is what i have learned

Hebrews 12:1

we have around us many people whose lives tell us what faith means. So let us run the race that is before us and never give up. We should remove from our lives anything that would get in the way and the sin that so easily holds us back.
v2
Let us look only to Jesus, the One who began our faith and who makes it perfect...

2Timothy 4:7

I have fought the good fight, i have finished the race, i have kept the faith

from this i suddenly remember for the orange run that we are going to run on the 12th April.. 11km.. very long distance..i think my legs cant take it but still want to participate..:)

our lives is like running the race.. further than 11km.. is a life long race.. like in the race, different ppl do run in a different speed, some fast and some slow.. but at the end, we still reach the finishing line. throughout the race, some might feel tired, some might feel like quitting. i believe is biblical to stop and rest at this moment.. rest in God.. then continue to race.. run to get prize.. with all our heart.. run to the throne of God..
suddenly this picture come into my mind..

when i was running, God is running beside me.. it is easier and fun to have someone to run with you. when i'm tired of running, and the finishing line seem so far to be seen, God is still there, encouraging me to continue the race.. as i continue to race, God keep revealing the things before me. im not running alone.. im running with God.. heading to the finishing line:)
