How are you to run?

Now read verse 2. Who is your example, and how is He described?

What did Christ endure, and what attitude did He have while He “kept on keeping on”?

3. Write, in your own words, what 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 and Hebrews 12:1-2 are calling you to do.

Stepping Toward Greater Growth

What weights or sins have you struggled with most recently that are slowing you down in the race?

What actions should you take to set aside those weights or sins?

It’s important for you to realize that your day-to-day responsibilities—as a wife, mother, daughter, church member, worker, or student—have been entrusted to you by God and don’t fall in the category of weights that hinder you. Scripture calls every believer to fulfill their obligations in a way that honors God. Rather, it’s the daily choices you make about your time, your attitudes, your thoughts, and your actions that affect your ability to run well. As Paul said in 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, finishing well has everything to do with personal discipline.

Look at the list below. What choices can you make now so that you will run a better race during this next week?

My time—

My attitudes—

My thoughts—

My actions—

My finances—

Loving God with All Your Mind

The great nineteenth-century preacher C.H. Spurgeon said this about pressing onward. As you read, underline or mark any words or thoughts that especially speak to your heart.

Keep not back part of the price. Make a full surrender of every motion of thy heart; labour to have but one object, one aim. And for this purpose give God the keeping of thine heart. Cry out for more of the divine influences of the Holy Spirit, that so when thy soul is preserved and protected by Him, it may be directed into one channel, and one only, that thy life may run deep and pure, and clear and peaceful; its only banks being God’s will, its only channel the love of Christ and a desire to please Him. *

That is the kind of commitment that will help you to grow into a woman who loves God with all your mind. Won’t you take time now to pray and ask the Lord to help you to run the race well?

* C.H. Spurgeon, Spurgeon’s Gems (London: Passmore & Alabaster, 1859), pp. 14-15.
