RUNNING THE RACE
I Samuel 18:24-25a, 26a, 27
"Now David was sitting between the two gates. And the watchman went up to the roof over the gate, to the wall, lifted his eyes and looked, and there was a man, running alone. Then the watchman cried out and told the king....Then the watchman saw another man running .... So the watchman said, 'I think the running of the first is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok.' And the king said, 'He is a good man, and comes with good news.' "
Two runners racing to get to the king. But there was something different and distinctive about the way Ahimaaz ran that set him apart and identified him. We are all in a race to get to the King. Is there anything about the way I run the race that sets is distinctive and identifies me as a Christian? Can people tell who I am by my life? I sincerely want King Jesus to say, "He is a good man." "Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us" (Hebrews 12:1b).
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: The way we live identifies us – for good or bad.

Have a good day. Love you.
