running thoughts...

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise as some understand slowness, He is patient with you not wanting anyone to perish” (2 Peter 3:9)

This morning as I ran, I pondered the Lord’s faithfulness to us. This was my first run after my 18 miles and my muscles were not completely healed, which slowed me down. I recently started reading a book called the “The runners body.” I’m so excited to learn about how the muscles work and what is going on in my body as I’m training.

In comparison, we don’t know what goes on in the spiritual world. We don’t realize sometimes that a really stressful time (running 18 miles) can slow us down. So many times we look at this a negative thing, when really we’re just in recovery. We forget we have a limited perspective. We CAN’T see. God tells us that His ways are not our ways. So many times, we beg to SEE what God is doing instead of TRUSTING Him. He is a faithful God. He will never leave us or forsake us. We will always have FAITH, HOPE and LOVE (1 Cor 13:13). They will never be taken from us.
