Running the race

     Today, remember that we are in the race of our life for our life! Remember we are running this race according to God's rules, and they go against the grain of human nature. In a human race seldom, if ever, will someone slow down or go back to help a struggling or fallen contestant. But in God's race it is expected. We are to run this race, not as individuals, but as one body. We are one force moving in the same direction under the same head which is Christ. Even as the ear cannot say to the foot, "since you are not an ear. I don't need you", we cannot let our friends and neighbors struggle and fall as we run by. If we do just pass them by, if we CAN allow that to happen... maybe it is because they actually are not part of our same body. And if that is the case, WE probably have joined ourselves to the wrong body under the wrong head. Because God's body, the true church, would not let that happen to even the smallest part of His body.

Be a blessing to someone other than yourself today and you will be blessed in deed. Have a great day!
