9.58 seconds or 2 hours one minute and 25 seconds, one is the record time for the 100 meter dash and the other one is for the London Marathon. In the Bible following Christ as a Christians is spoken of, in several passages, as a race, so which type of race do you think God had in mind and why would He want us to consider this imagery? Today’s test comes from James chapter 1 and I am calling it a test of longevity because the reward from Jesus is the “crown of life” that the Lord promises those who love Him and persevere under trial, able to stand the test. How does the truth of James 1:13-15 help you to endure the tests of temptation required to develop the perseverance needed to run the race to completion? Thank you for being together in God’s word.
