Encouragement for your race today
February 8, 2019
BIBLE MEDITATION:
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 1 Corinthians 9:24
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
God set one race before me. He set another race before you. Everyone must run their own race. We’re not in a race against each other; we’re in a pilgrimage together. I'm not trying to out-do you. You’re not trying to out-do me. God has set before me a race that is peculiar to me. God has a plan for my life. He has a plan for yours. God has a race He wants each of us to run. We’re to get on it and stay on it until it is over.
If the runners of that day were inspired when they ran their race, how much greater should our effort be today with all the saints who have gone before us and can testify of God’s faithfulness?
Do you feel inspired? I do! It encourages me to know I’m not alone out there in the race and that I have the testimony of men and women who have run the race, knowing the pitfalls that are out there.
ACTION POINT:
Friend, I hope you feel encouraged and inspired to run the unique race God has set for you today. At Love Worth Finding, we would be honored to hear how God is fulfilling your every need along the way.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
