Default Win The Race

Win The Race

But [like a boxer] I buffet my body [handle it roughly, discipline it by hardships] and subdue it, for fear that after proclaiming to others the Gospel and things pertaining to it, I myself should become unfit [not stand the test, be unapproved and rejected as a counterfeit]. 1 Corinthians 9:27

It is easy to leave unpleasant tasks for later. But God wants His people to finish the race that He sets before them to run (see 2 Timothy 4:7). Don't be afraid to do what seems to be hard. God will anoint you to do whatever He tells you to do.
Paul spoke of this race for the sake of the gospel in 1 Corinthians 9:23-26: "So run [your race] that you may lay hold [of the prize] and make it yours." He said to run with definite aim, and to discipline yourself to finish the race. Grace will make winning easier than you imagined.

In recovery, there is no race to run. No one is better, less, greater, lower than anyone else, we walk beside each other.

There is no having to do better than someone else, each of us move along at our own pace, some are sicker than others. I know, I was one.

The only thing they ask is to try to stay clean and sober to the best of your ability. Each person has their own God, that includes building a personal relationship with your God.

We are individuals, we travel this journey, but it doesn't have to be alone. I know I wouldn't have made it without the support that I received.

As far as tasks and living the program, it is trying to do things in today and not act out in my disease. The program is about change. It isn't about saying sorry, oops, I'll try better next time, but by practicing the principles in all our affairs.

It is so much better when we invite God to go with us. When I walk with Him, I am aware, and it is up to me to act on the new awareness and not revert back to old behaviours, habits, and actions from the past and bring them into today.
