The last few weeks many eyes are glued to the television to see how our Canadian sport stars are doing at the Olympics. The thought always occurs to me, that if I practice my musical instruments the way these men and women practice to be worthy of the sport they enjoy doing, I could be a star performer.
So many hours are put into the practice to become better and better, faster and faster. Then it happens that they might be less than a second too late and miss out on the medal that they practiced for all these years to obtain. Our life on earth is a continuous race and as it says in Hebrew 12:1,2 鈥淟et us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith鈥. We will encounter obstacles and our endurance will be tested, but with Christ on our side and His guidance and direction we will finish the race. 鈥淭he Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs ....鈥
