The Lord has graciously given me themes these last several years that incredibly cross between my running life and my spiritual life. Last year’s was Recovering Well to Run Well. This year’s, stumbled upon in January, has been Running in His Strength. What does that mean? What does that mean in running and, more importantly, what does it mean for LIFE?
Now, about 1,400 miles later — and let’s see, a relay race, two half marathons, two marathons, and my very first ultra of 50 miles later — the Lord continues to impress on my heart the lesson he started so many months ago. Don’t get me wrong; I don’t think He’s done teaching me about recovery or about running in His strength and not my own. But this is where I am today:
Running in His Strength is …
Fixing my eyes on Him
SO THAT
I don’t lose heart
BUT
move forward encouraged and victorious
SO THAT
He may be glorified in how I run.
