Heb 12:1 - How Will I Run This Race

Spiritual warfare is very real. There is a fierce, and ferocious battle raging in the realm of the spirit between the forces of God and the forces of evil. Warfare happens every day, all the time. Whether you believe it or not, you are in a battlefield. You are in warfare.” – Pedro Okoro
This race represents contest and a conflict – Bringing our life into balance can be an agonizing process.
The Greek word for race is agon from which we get our word agony. The race is a conflict in that there is an internal struggle of the soul.

The Pain Of Moving Forward – It’s Like A Long-Distance Runner
What’s interesting about marathon runners is how in tune they are with their own abilities
• They know their strengths and weaknesses – they understand their limitation
• They know how to pace themselves to conserve energy
• They set small goals along the way
• They do not focus on beating the person next to them

2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
