Week 7: The Stretch

I remember being is a hotel lobby in the summer of 2008 when I watched the best finish of any race I had ever seen. Michael Phelps was trailing behind the leader in an olympic 100M butterfly, and somehow he ended up touching the wall first. It was not until the slow motion replayed that you could actually see what happened. If we were to put a slow motion camera on the race we are running for the upward call of knowing Jesus, I wonder what it would show? Paul calls out every believer to a new level of faith and to run a new race with everything we’ve got.
