Episode 13 - To Whom the Race is Given
Thursday, 19 November, 2009
I was jogging this past weekend and the temperature was about 40 degrees and the wind was blowing briskly and as I continued to run, the flat terrain started to incline and the wind picked up more, causing my eyes to tear a bit. And what began to be a leisurely and effortless jog, ended up as a grueling, battle to finish. But what I knew throughout the run, as I know each time I go jogging is that I won’t quit running. I won’t stop until I reach the end. It didn’t matter that I started off at a fast pace and it seemed I would improve my running time, better than before, and now I’m slowing down my pace, because I’m experiencing discomfort, and light pain throughout my body, as I feel the impact of every step. For what truly matter is that I have a mind to hold on, and endure this run to the end. The same is true for this Christian race, as the bible says in Eccl 9:11 "I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. Eccl 9:11" Beloved the race, the battle... is given to him that endure to the end.
