He read my mind!

My pastor delivered an excellent teaching yesterday about grasshoppers. As I prepare to run the 15k in Gasparilla I see long distances as some what of a giant in the way. Running 18.3k this past Saturday I proved to myself that it was just a grasshopper that I to crush. Yes it was painful and I didn't run the best time but I was able to finish. My pastor gave us a Bible verse that I thought I would share.

Isaiah 46:10 (New King James Version)

¹⁰ Declaring the end from the beginning,

His illustration showed us that as we line up at the starting line the Lord shows us crossing the finish line. He tells us that we can make it but He never said that our way will be without obstacles. This is similar to the children of Israel as they were getting ready to enter the promised land. The Lord told them that it was theirs for the taking but they were fearful because of the giants in the land.

Numbers 13 (New King James Version)
