Running For Jesus!
Recently I have been on an exercise and eating adjustment quest. Carol and I have been eating healthy foods and I have been getting back to a regular running program. It has been a great experience. We have loved the change and have been losing weight and gaining spiritual insight. Our food adjustment came with our 21 day Daniel’s fast. It is basically a vegetarian type diet coupled with a spiritual focus. Wow…I didn’t realize how much “king stomach” was in charge of my life. As God and I began to over take “king stomach”…I soon realized that my out of balanced appetite was ruling more than my stomach. You see, any single desire of the flesh is related to all the other desires of the flesh. So, as I am experiencing fresh spiritual insight, I was hit with a great thought. While running one early morning as I was heading up to the top of Federal Hill park I had one of those moments when God simply whispers something in your ear…”today you are running for you, but realize that I have called you to run for me!” Immediately, I thought about Paul’s statement in the New Testament that says…”run in such a way that you win.” We are all in a race, and God has called us all to “run the race.” I don’t know about you, but I want to run for Jesus! I want to go the distance, I want to endure to the end, I want to run in such a way that I win one for Jesus! Start today…put on your spiritual running shoes and go out and run for Jesus!
