Does It Feel Like You Are Running a Long Race That Never Seems To End?

Have you ever made it through something you never thought you would? I bet you have. I experience this when I go for a run or get on a treadmill. I might say, “I’m just going to run for 30 minutes.” But then I hit the 15 minute mark and I’m done. My mind starts to negotiate with itself. “Well, perhaps I could just do 20 minutes…or I could slow down the treadmill so it’s not so tiring.” My endurance is being tested.
Sometimes just to experiment, I’ll actually speed up the treadmill at that point and amp up my adrenaline. You’d be surprised how that actually helps!
Romans 15:4 talks about how Scripture is written for our instruction. “That through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.”
As we let God’s truth fill us and define who we are, we will have greater endurance to run the race put before us.
Remember, choose hope today.
