What degree of exertion have you performed to have a desired effect hoping
the result would profit your life? Whatever strength in the intensity and duration
to keep functioning strongly, we must actually maintain our focus and attention
in terms of healthy relations that promote the growth of the exellent moral
soundness in Christian character. This vigorous activity and sincere encourage-
ment is one of commitment in aspiration, knowing that the real outcome derives
from the true source of our faith in God, Who has provided all we need to live each
day with the fulfillment of our future kept in mind, understanding that we want to
make heaven our home; for, the dwellings of this earthly life pass rapidly, and
the worldly ways will be swiftly judged by God Himself. So the strong desire we
are to have should be one of an application to join with and increase in the
furtherance of the virtues that are necessary to live victoriously (See Second
Peter chapter one, verses five through seven). We would not want to be
deficient in these qualities, nor be devoid of the fact of what Jesus did that
we may be cleansed from our past sins. We therefore with much preparation
need be disciplined to exercise these qualities all the while remaining steady
to obtain the prize ahead so that we would not be disqualified. We would not
want to be unfit for what is intended in the promises of God; instead, we would
want to aim with utmost accuracy to live our lives for the glory of God to
carry the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ our Lord. The pleasing manner
that is required is a sureness, being confident that every step we take is
is steady that we may not stumble; for we know the reliabilty of God’s Word
is of trustworthy nature of our assured hope by the love of Jesus and our
partaking of His Divine nature. Then with our eyes focused on the truth of
God’s Word, we will profit much in gaining the value in the blessings and the
expectation ahead without fighting as though we are pumping our arms in
force of blow with our fists to the air. The powers of this world could never
thwart God’s goodness toward those Who are truly His. Take careful
attention to “Run Your Race Well”! LaNora G. Means
