You
were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth?
Galatians 5:7
Thoughts~
Never in my life have I run a race and if I have my
way, I never will. Running is not something I enjoy at all but I love walking,
especially in small towns that I have never explored before. Once I walked for a
charity, raising money for it, and the crowds of people trying to pass me and
cut in on my space made it difficult to enjoy.
My focus was on the end zone; I wanted to walk the entire course. And I
did, but it was difficult.
When we set our eyes on the goal of living our lives
for the Lord, living in obedience to His word and practicing love at every
opportunity, we are certain to be cut off by the enemy of God. In fact, as believers,
we will be targeted by the enemy and by people who oppose Jesus. Stand strong and don’t let anyone cut in on
your race . . . focus on the goal of living for eternity with the One who loves
you. Don’t compromise; don’t cave in to the demands of the world. Do what is
right in God’s sight.
Action~
Think about these three things:
*Who am I allowing to cut in on me and trip me
up?
*What am I doing that is in disobedience to God?
*Where do I hang out that is not a place I should
be?
Pray~
Oh Lord, forgive me for allowing others to take me off
the course You have set for me. Help me
to obey You.
Trusting in Him,
Becky
