Last night we had our group run for "Run For God".....and I said God had a sense of humor by providing a cool crisp evening for the run. I think my face is still frozen the morning!:)
We all talked about how we probably wouldn't of done the run @ 8:00 pm, with the cold temps and strong wind gusts; except for the fact that we had each other and focused on God for strength. The study for the week talked about the story of Edwin Moses (the Olympic hurdler), and how an observer watching him in awe at his grace and speed...not even knowing who he was.
"Surely, Christ was the same way. He was different from the typical person, and even those who didn't know him could tell he exuded something new. If Edwin Moses could manage to touch a naive life with the power and authority of his athleticism, surely Christ can touch our lives as well.
The Holy Spirit is about the presence of God. People are touched by that presence. And in the race of life, which will eventually end, only One sets the pace of victory: Jesus Christ. We who are on the track stand in awe of what we see. It is he who enables us to run at all. The race of faith takes us to eternal life through God's wondrous hand."
WOW!!
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and he sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.
Hebrews 12:1
