Encouragement for Today

By
Real Estate Agent with Equity Fifty Five Realty, LLC

Scripture for Today!
“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.” 1 Corinthians 9:24

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

Have you ever considered that the heroes of the faith are watching us from heaven! They are in the grandstand, watching us and cheering for us. We are running the race. The race of life, and the winners are those who receive Christ as Lord of their life. We each are on different paths, and we run across others who need our help, to be picked up and encouraged. We also see others who are running the wrong direction. Don't run with them!

If the runners of that day were inspired when they ran their race, how much greater should our effort be today with these saints behind us? Do you feel inspired? I do! It encourages me to know that I am not alone out there in the race and that I have men and women who have run the race knowing the pitfalls that are out there.

ACTION POINT:
Friend, I hope you feel encouraged and inspired to run the unique race God has set for you today. Know that God is watching over us, and Christ has prayed for us. God would be honored to hear from you today! Ask Him to run along side of you, to pick you up whenever you need Him to. Ask Him to watch over your steps, and to guide and keep you along lifes paths.

Thanks for the inspiration.  My prayer, is for the faith to trust in His love for me.  Only then can I believe that I am worthy to have Him run the race with me.  I keep putting one step in front of the other....in trust

None of us deserve His loving grace. If we could do something to deserve it then it would not be by grace.

For it is by grace that you are saved and not by works lest any man should boost.

We need to come to Christ as like little children. Babies do not get to decide who their parents are, but they learn very quickly to trust them for everything, and they know if they cry their needs will be met.

Paul,

Thank you for sharing this wonderful scripture and devotional.  God's love is unconditional, there is nothing we can do to stop Him from loving us.  His love does not depend on our performance.  Or none would receive it.  Praise God!  Thanks so much for sharing the truth!
