625 Days Saved - A Walk with Christ 

-Life Marathon- 

Therefore my fellow brothers and sisters stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourself to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is never in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:56

This thing called faith is such a surrender. At first it’s just so powerful and your in awe that Jesus saved you at all. Then satan schemes and works to take you down. Each trial you get over there is a great break through. 

The winter Olympics have been on television this week. Faith is just like a marathon or even like these Olympic competitions. When you have talent and gifts you have to fight for them. Satan will lie and pull you away from your gifts because he cannot have you succeeding with God here. He needs you lowly and held in chains to addictive cycles. These athletes overcome many great obstacles but after all their challenges and set backs the feeling of standing in accomplishment on that podium makes all the struggle worth it! 

This life is similar. Our purpose is to use our gifts and rise up in this marathon called life! You will have set backs and feel like quiting but when you make it to the gate of heaven you’ll look back and clearly see everything was purposeful and each setback made you stronger to get to that glorious finish line! Have faith in the process! 

The Challenge: 

What setbacks have you had in your life? How have these setbacks made you stronger to continue Gods mission here for you?
