FOCUS ON THE RACE

When I taught physical education, one of the things I loved to teach was track an field.
I would teach the students to line up when they were starting a race witheir heads down and as I said "go", they were to slowly look down the trach a ways but always keeping their eyes straight
ahead. As they moved forward, they could lift their head, up. They had to always remember to keep
their eyes focused on the road ahead. It was the same way when I taught them the art of passing the baton in relay racing. If they took their eyes off of the hand holding the baton, there  wouldn't be a smooth or quick passage of the baton. Many a race has been lost because someone has lost his/her focus too!
Scripute tells us to not get lost in things that seem like they are the real thing. We are not to take our eyes off of the real thing. Keep your focus on Jesus Christ and you will never go wrong.
On your mark!......................Mark your focus on Christ
Get set!.................................Get set to move for Him
Go!........................................Go for Him with gusto and don't look back!
