28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
When you run in a race what's the purpose of it? Why do people keep pushing themselves, even when they're tired? We often keep running until we just can't anymore. We have things in our spiritual lives where we're running and running and just don't stop, even when we're tired. God wants you to enjoy your spiritual life. He doesn't want you to become weary or for it to ever become boring. He wants you to be strengthened and renewed. He wants to you feel you are running well - he wants you to be a winner, not a loser.
Hold you hands in victory above your head. Close your eyes. Breathe in and out deeply. Picture God filling you with strength. Filling you with encouragement. With joy in a race well run. With a reminder that it is for him and to him you run.
I often find myself pushing myself to do my best, even when the task is somewhat boring. When i look back at what i have done, i realized that i could have done it so much better if i slowed myself down. I always find myself rushing myself and i don't learn as much. I realized that i should slow myself down and let God guide me, instead of me running ahead of the plans.
Slow and steady wins the race.
