Run Your Race

I’m going to talk to you today about the phrase “run your race.” Growing up, my parents always told me, “Tom, you’re impressionable.” Whether it was a farmer, athlete, or attorney who I spent time with, I always came back wanting to be like them. I think that sometimes in Christendom as we begin to walk with the Lord, if we are not careful we can get caught up in and glorify what others do, and in the process lose sight of what we have been called to do. In the body of Christ, there are no unimportant people doing unimportant things – we have all been called for a purpose. It is important that we run our own unique race with focus and determination.
