Personal Best
5 Do
your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does
not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. 16 Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. 2 Timothy 2:14-16
I had a personal best this last week with a race I ran. But if I
think about it, I am not as proud of the time I received, but rather I
am more proud of the months of training, and effort I have made to make
myself better and reach my personal best. When you look at your daily
walk with Christ, is it a fast-paced sprint that is smooth as silk, or
is it a long race with many bumps in the road where we can easily get
pulled off course? If we are focused on God and His truth daily, it is
much harder to get dragged into the godless chatter that so readily
pervades our society. It is also easier to be our best when God is in
our life, for He produces the personal best in us, because we alone
cannot do it ourselves. Pursue your personal best in every aspect of
your life and I promise you that God will be there to provide support in
your pursuit.
Have a great weekend.
