Finishing Weird - Part 3


Weird people don’t finish like normal people finish.

Weird people run to win and run with endurance.

1 Corinthians 9:24-25   "Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.

Hebrews 12:1-2   "Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

I want to finish strong. I want to finish weird. But, I cannot do that in my own strength. Therefore, this is my prayer:

Lord give me the strength to run with endurance the race you have set before me. Help me to run in such a way that I may win.
