Run Your Own Race
Run your own race apart from the thoughts and opinions of others. Our Heavenly Father loves us. He sent His Son to redeem us. We are the apple of His eye. What He thinks of us matters. His opinion of us is the only opinion that matters. Our material world is constantly trying to get us to think that what others think of us is of utmost importance. Such beliefs have caused some of us to compile mountains of debt purchasing things we cannot afford in order to fashion a lifestyle for people who, in the end, really don’t care. True freedom is the freedom from the thoughts and opinions of others.
Simple Reminders of who we are, what we have, and what we can do in Christ can empower us to overcome in virtually every area of life. Countless times in scripture we are commanded to remember. Remembering causes the current monsters we’re facing to shrink before our eyes.
Remembering that God is working in us, on us, around us and through us causes the believer to become bold as a lion. And remembering how our Heavenly Father has delivered us from situations and circumstances in our lives that at one point looked bleak, strengthens us to endure present circumstances knowing that the God of deliverance still lives.
