You know that in a race all the runners run but only one wins the prize, don’t you? You must run in such a way that you may be victorious. Everyone who enters an athletic contest practices self-control in everything. They do it to win a wreath that withers away, but we run to win a prize that never fades.1 Corinthians 9:24-25

Meaning of run: move at a speed faster than a walk, never having both or all the feet on the ground at the same time:

There are 35 verses in the Bible about running, 

The word run brings Tom Hanks to my mind and the words ... Run Forest Run... Such a great movie... 

Do we walk away with a message?  Are we different? Do people treat us differently? Do we crumble? Or do we find that inner strength to break through all obstacles? Or do we hide? And let life and beautiful souls pass us by? 

I have witnessed a fear so great that it makes people run away and hide in hopes it will go away... 

They may find peace for a brief moment in time!! But the fear will continue to show its ugly head... and the cycle of running will continue until you face that it is you that you are afraid of. 

Most fears are manifested in our own heads. Now don't get me wrong there are times in our lives that fear will keep us from disasters in our life.. 

However, how do we learn the difference??? 

When we look to God's word for answers. He speaks to our hearts. He soothes our souls... He tells us 365 times. Fear Not... So I say don't run, don't hide... Hold Him tightly and listen to His whispers.  He is our strength. He is our peace. He is our first love... He is our guide for life. He holds all the answers to our future... 

It's Him, It's always Him 

I say RUN... Run as fast as you can to His open arms. He is waiting. 

Isaiah 40:31. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. 

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. James 1:12
