ON YOUR MARK!

One of the areas that I enjoyed teaching in Physical Education, besides Tumbling, was Track and Field.I loved to run, and enjoyed teaching the students the correct way to get a good start in a race.As they took their mark,they needed to keep their eyes focused just a little bit ahead of them, down the line, and to gradually let their eyes move down the track to the final goal. As they moved along, they were to slowly lift their head and strive for the mark at the end of the race, which was the finish line!
God's word tells us that we are to run the race He has set before us. We need to keep our eyes focused on Jesus Christ, and run the race set before us,towards Him! He's the end of the race we need to run to, and when we do, we will win the race!
The neat thing about this race,is that there are lots of "chosen" winners, and the prize is an Eternity with a King!
Woo Hoo!
