Distractions   One-a-Day Monday    10/31/16

A life worthy

You were running a good race.  Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth? (Galatians 5:7)

Good question, Beloved.  Time for just a tad of self-analysis today. Those thoughts that tell you you’re not good enough, smart enough, godly enough, blah blah blah enough…where are they coming from?  Who puts them into your head?  

I ran track in high school.  My coach used to say that each of us should run his own race, not constantly changing pace or strategy because of what the other runners were doing.  Wise advice–made good sense.  But sometimes another runner would cut in on you, throw off your stride.  It was so easy to forget the race you knew you should run and start chasing the other guy.  

Usually didn’t work, by the way.

Run your own race today, Beloved.  He’s got the course marked; you know what to do.

Happy Monday.
