There\u2019s this amazing short video going around Facebook. It\u2019s one of those that seems just to pop-up without searching for it. It looks like high school girls. Whatever their age, they are running a hurdles race in track. When they get to the second hurdle, the young lady in first place trips and falls. The rest of the field continues on. Incredibly, she gets up, kicks it into the gear, and finishes the race. But that\u2019s not what\u2019s incredible. What\u2019s incredible is that, not only did she finish the race, she won the race. She actually passed every girl on the track and won the race. I\u2019m sure if you search for it, you can find it. It\u2019s only about 15 seconds long. But worth watching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I love the life lesson that\u2019s being put out there in that video. I\u2019m sure you know what it is. And, the video goes hand-in-hand with something that my wife brought back from a Women\u2019s Retreat. One of the notes that she took during one of the speakers simply says this: \u201cYou win as long as you don\u2019t quit.\u201d The young lady in the race definitely didn\u2019t quit. She got up, continued on, and won the race. She didn\u2019t quit. She had every reason to. But she didn\u2019t. And she won. We can all learn from this in our every day lives. Because we are all going to see struggles. Obstacles. Hurdles in our way. And we can all learn from this and apply it to our faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The world will try to defeat us. Crush us. Destroy us. So remember this, Satan is of the world. Therefore he is in it. And therefore, he is going to put hurdles in our way. He is going to do all that he can to bring us down. To stop us. To keep us from moving forward. He is going to do all he can to keep us from finishing the race. I always call him the great deceiver. The great liar. The snake. Because those are accurate descriptions of who he is. Of what he represents. So today, when he comes at you, when he puts hurdles in your way, don\u2019t lose track of where you are headed. Don\u2019t let him knock you down, and keep you down. Know that Jesus has paved the path for us. He has already declared victory for us. We must keep the faith. Keep our eyes on him. If we do this, we win. We win! Read it again\u2026We win!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
