Good Morning Sunshine! Run Your Race In The Grace of God!

Hebrews 12:1-2 NLT ~ “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. [2] We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.”

What are you doing to prepare yourself for your race? What are you doing before starting and finishing the race?

As you have read and witnessed your Christian life is like a race, you go from here to there and back again to end up sometimes in the same place, but at a different stage of you! Yes, you know what you are running to and for, the win the prize, and cross the finish line! The end goal is eternity! Plain and simple! So, in order to do this, you are going to have to do something different, you need to shed a few things that have been holding you back.

Let go and let God! For you are awaking to a grace so amazing that it will follow you everywhere you go. That means that there is nothing in your life that has been too shameful or too disgraceful that God doesn’t want to cover up and make it right! God has taken your bad and ugly and made it work out for your good. Romans 8:28! God’s plan for you is the best, nothing else will do!

So today give Him everything that you think keeps you from Him, and yes, it is that thing that you are thinking about right now, He knows, and He wants you to let Him have it! Give it to Him, because He already knows what it is, there is nothing about you that He doesn’t already know, you don’t have to do anything to yourself to get ready, you can go just as you are! He just wants you to relinquish it to Him on your own! God wants you to have His very best!

Now that you have shredded some old stuff you can be focus on how you are going to stay on track and run with endurance and resilience! You do this by keeping your mind stayed on Jesus, you stay planted in The Word, you keep moving forward, one foot at a time, you keep your eyes on Jesus Christ, who is the Author and Finisher of your faith! For you are closer to the goal line than when you first began! Can’t you see it, it right on the other side of the horizon!

You can run now! Jesus set the tempo. Jesus ran His race perfectly, and He is showing you just what to do. He is there to direct you at every turn, valley and peak, stay the course, this is your faithfulness unto to Him, so that you can finish your mission that He planned and the way He purposed it for you! Be patient, be focused and take your time, you can do this, the Holy Spirit is with you! Stay the Mission! See the Course! Finish the Race! For His Grace is with you and it’s sufficient!

1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV ~ “But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” There is a song called, “Amazing Grace, how sweet the grace that saved a wretch like me; I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see; twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved; how precious did that grace appear; the hour I first believed.” It’s by God’s Amazing Grace that you even have a race to run too!

Now ask yourself these questions while you are meditating on this song. When did you first believe? Have you ever felt lost? Have you ever needed directions and didn’t know which to go? If you have ever felt like this while you were running your race, this song is for you! God’s Amazing Grace is the only thing that can save you from being lost! But You Have Got To Believe It!

Just run to your Daddy God; there’s no way you can outrun His grace, mercy, or His Love in anyway because they are forever chasing you, Psalms 23:6a (NLT)! Let God’s grace cover you today because His grace is Greater than your sin. Sunshine, you are covered in His grace, you are loved Greater than you understand, and you are well on your way to living your best life now.

Sunshine, Jesus Christ came to save you from you and save you from a life of sin! You were rescued through God’s Amazing Grace for a purpose, and this gives you something to look forward to, an eternity of Worshiping and Praising Him! His Amazing Grace will prevail on earth and in heaven for His Glory! Today, run your race, they’re watching while you watch Jesus! Just believe in the Spirit and Power of Jesus Christ and watch your life change right before your eyes and theirs too!

Your goal is to finish the race, and cross your finish line, until you get to eternity, for this is the final the finish line that you will have to cross! And Oh, what a time you will have when you cross that finish line!

Let’s Pray:
Father Thank You! Father, I praise Your Holy Name. Thank You for saving me when I was lost. Thank You! Thank You for setting my path in place to see You. Teach me how to run with endurance and resilience to move past everything that would try to hinder or derail me. Thank You for sustaining me in this race when I felt like the finish line is so far away! You show up and reminded me of Your love and concern me and for this I’m forever grateful! Lord, let my life be a reflection of who You are in me. Thank You for opening and healing my eyes that I may see You and be found by You when I was lost in my sin! Thank You for Your Amazing Grace, saving, delivering and forgiving a wretch like me! In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Blessings…
