24 Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win!
Pictured is an impala in the Zambia safari park...you can't see it but right under her throat is some huge claw scratches. During the night she came under attack by a predator. We don't know which one of the BIG CATS (as we saw lions and leopards) it was...but what we do know is that she was scared and actually walking/running with a heard of bushbacks (African deer). Your heart could only go out to her as you know she was scared and lonely. I believe much can be learned by looking at this picture through the lenses of the scripture and title above. WE ARE ALL RUNNING; often times scared...and away from something or someone. Paul stated WE ARE ALL RUNNING A RACE; and if I could I would add the HUMAN RACE. The question is.....WHY are you RUNNING? Why are you RUNNING from commitment? Commitment to CHRIST, to a small group, to a church, to______________________(you fill in the blank) I don't know what happened to this impala pictured but I know if she didn't find her herd, and collect herself well....her future is very grim.
Where is your herd, your pack, your healthy community of people who LOVE YOU more than yourself? I understand pain, and being hurt....all too well...but alone is not really the best look for any of us. If you are running....I hope where you are running to leads you to an eternity filled with peace & joy...if it is isn't......maybe today is the perfect day to reconsider the direction you are heading in. LGLP!
