The Olympics is just round the corner and many athletes all over the world are busy preparing themselves for it. Many are aiming for Gold in the races they have qualified for. Their dream was first and foremost to qualify for the games, and next, their goal is to win a medal, preferably a gold medal.
We all like these Athletes have qualified for our "Olympics", the most important race, which is the race of our life. The fact that out of the 64 million sperms that began the race, one made it to fertilize the egg and that's how come you are here, tells a lot about you. You have qualified. You had very little to do with this part, it was by divine design and not your own making, and that's why you qualified.
The next thing you need to do is to win a medal. In order for you to do that you must first identify your race. According to our maker, "There is a race that is marked out before us" (Hebrews 12:1). If you are supposed to run in the 800 meters race with Rudisha, and you opt to run the 200 meters, it won't matter how fast you run. Even if you beat Blake and Bolt, you will not be given a medal because that is not the race you were meant to run. If you were to run the 200 meters and you leave your lane and get into someone else's, even if you win you will be disqualified because you entered another person's lane.
What I'm I saying, it is important for each of us to identify our race. My race is to bring healing and restoration to hurting and broken marriages. What is yours? What race are you running? Are you running your race or are you running another persons race? Your Father's race? Your Pastor's race?
