1. RACE IN GRACE
Don’t you know that they which run in a race run all, but one receives the prize? (1Co 9:24)
The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, (Ecc 9:11).
In a race, we run hard when it is hard to run
Because His grace is sufficient for us; for His strength is made perfect in weakness (2Co 12:9)
Only the tough-going get going when the going gets tough.
We are tough since we can do all things through Christ which strengthens us. (Php 4:13)
We know that what does not destroy us in a race makes us strong with Grace
So, we run with patience the race that is set before us, (Heb 12:1)
Therefore, we are holding forth the word of life; that we will not run the race in vain (Php 2:16)
A race with God from the beginning is Grace
Some trust in other things: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. (Ps 20:7)
Remember, if God be for us, who can be against us? (Ro 8:31)
Let us PLEASE run this race in Grace
