“Therefore,
since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off
everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run
with perseverance the race marked out for us” – Hebrews 12:1
God has given us a body and soul.
Same God has provided us a purpose of living. Each of us have been put into a
race and our opposition is only just our tasks. We are here in the world not to
run others race, but we are here to run our own race. There is no point in
competing with others in any walk of life. Compete with your provisions. Each
one have their tasks and they need to carry on doing it. Some of them might
have many more than us, some have less.
When you study or work with someone,
they might be brighter than you. It only means that God have much more tasks to
him then you, so he need to run the race much faster. If you run that race,
then who is going to run your race? You will be the failure.
Same way if you find anyone
competing with you, or others, try convincing them not to try running others
race, but to concentrate their tasks and come up victorious. And more over
encourage everyone who are depressed, weak and who is a failure to understand
their tasks and run their race and finish it. I pray God will provide you with
the grace and spirit to run your race properly and encourage others to run
their race and give glory to God.
“And
we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive,
encourage the dishearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone” – 1 Thessalonians 5:14.
