disqualified

THIS  HUMAN  RACE
As we come close to the time OLYMPIC GAMES we may be thinking about  the athletes or the prizes or the different competitions. The thing that came to mind for me was the ONES WHO WERE DISQUALIFIED.
 
Listen to  Paul:  Whoever enters an athletic competition wins the prize only when playing by the rules. 2 Timothy 2:5
I toughen my body with punches and make it my slave so that I will not be disqualified after I have spread the Good News to others. 1 Corinthians 9:27
GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)
Since we are surrounded by so many examples [of faith], we must get rid of everything that slows us down, especially sin that distracts us. We must run the race that lies ahead of us and never give up.
Hebrews 12:1
 
The idea of disapproval should always be on my mind as I am involved in this HUMAN RACE. Not just human approval. I must be thinking about my Father. He ALLOWS me to be in THE RACE. To meet his approval I must PLAY BY HIS RULES.
 


O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, 8 Harden not your heart... Psalm 95. VISIT THE FAMILY CHRONICLE TODAY and leave a comment.
