Run Well, 3of3

~ The Christian Race: Running Correctly ~

Running After Christ  ~  “Draw me away!  The Daughters of Jerusalem we will run after You” (Song of Solomon 1:4).

Running In His Way  ~   “I will run the course of Your commandments, for You shall enlarge my heart” (Psalm 119:32).

Running With Endurance  ~  “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us” (Hebrews 12:1).

Running Confidently  ~  “Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty.  Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air.  But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified” (1 Corinthians 9:26-27).

Running In His Strength  ~  “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31).

Running With Correct Focus  ~  “Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:2).
