As some of you know, I started running about a month ago using an interval training from a website called Cool Runnings. Last Monday was the first day I was supposed to run 20 minutes straight, and I was sure I wouldn’t make it. I usually listen to Bill’s MP3 player while I run, and “Grace Unmeasured” (Sovereign Grace) was playing when I was about 15 minutes in. I had one lap to go and said out loud, “I can’t do it anymore. I have to quit.” Almost before the words were out of my mouth, the lyrics of the song said, “Grace unending all my days to give me strength to run this race.” How awesome! God reminded me through that song that I’m right, I can’t do it. But it is He who gives me the strength to do all things, so in Him I found the strength to finish. Praise God that even the small things like running for 20 minutes are important to Him, and praise Him for His strength!
