faithful runner
i was trying to load songs into my mp3 player just now and i came across the song "faithful runner" by eric lee which i haven't heard in ages. i don't know why but my finger somehow double-clicked on the song instead of dragging it into my player and the lyrics just struck me.
FAITHFUL RUNNER
O faithful runner
Breathe your second wind
Lean onto the grace of God
And soar into His wings
You faithful runner
Whenever you should fall
Stand again and lift your eyes
And hear the distant call
Come on faithful runner
I'm calling out to you
When you are weak your strength is gone
I will carry you
Go one faithful runner
You'll never run alone
So keep the fire of faith in you
Cause I will lead you home
and it reminds me that as i carry on in my walk with God, i tend to get tired sometimes or i don't wanna break out of my comfort zone to do something for Him, God will carry me through all this. however, i have to understand the fact that while i wanna continue to have this passion for our awesome Father, i have to lift myself out of "chairs" in order to continue to run the race. i can't just yell "Father! give me the passion! carry me through all this!" i have to continue to arm myself with His Word and His commandments, depending on His strength. "God will lift you out of easy pits but not out of easy chairs" - joyce meyer. one way to continue being a faithful runner, i've realised through reading the Word, is to give thanks to God. it is then you realise how wonderful and forgiving our Lord God has been and this boosts your relationship with Him in turn. cos you realise that without Christ you are nothing (ecclesiastes).
1 Corinthians 1: 4-9 says, "I always thank God for you because of His grace given you in Christ Jesus. For in Him you have been enriched in every way - in all your speaking and in all your knowledge - because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you. Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift (buddy, you reading this?!!!) as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. He will kepp you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is FAITHFUL." so press on!! be a faithful runner!! :)
