Run

God Loves You

When you are grounded in the word of God, nothing will affect you. It’s not just good enough to hear the word of God from others. It is better when you know, it for yourself. Let’s suppose you want to run a race, would you practice daily or would you just sit back and when it is time, to race you run? Of course not! You will do what you have to do to get yourself in shape for the race. You will eat healthier, walk, etc. Nevertheless, you are expecting to succeed, because you have put in the work. Now let us look at our spiritual life. Suppose you are in conflicts, what will you do? Would you run to a friend, Pastor, or therapy? Maybe or maybe not! However, when you are grounded in the word, you will run directly to Christ Jesus, because he has all the answers you need.

But you cannot run to him unless, you are trained to know, who he is. How do you become trained? You become trained by spending time in His word. Paul said, “25 everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. 27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize” (1 Corinthians 9:25-27). Amen. Wow even discipleship requires, discipline. Our walk with Christ is important. Although the road can sometimes get bumpy, it will NEVER have any effect on you because you know who is guiding your path. If it is not Christ, then you will be affected by every storm that comes your way.

Let’s face it; unless, you have Christ in your life, you will have no light. You might have physical existence, but your spiritual man will be dead. Well, that’s my opinion.  If you haven’t already accepted Christ, I invite you to accept him. And if you have him, but you are not spending time in his word, I encourage you to get busy and spend time.  When you are trained, and know who you are and whom you belongs too, nothing coming your way, will prosper. Be blessed.
