“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.”
Forever is a long time. It is not bound by time, it is not subject to decay or rot. We are on a constant destination towards death, all things out side of God we know, love, and find refuge in will disappear. Forever is not a measurement of time, it is the completion of time. Fortunately, this earth is bound by time, we were given roughly 28,579 days to learn and grow before our bodies are given to the earth for forever and eternity. The reality of being controlled by this time, makes the word Forever that much more of an impact. It puts a whole new meaning in running the race for the Lord. We often focus on how long this race is, we grow weary and tired, but if you compare to what we will be given in the end it all becomes silly. Often we enter challenges to get the prize in the end. People will train 12 hours a day 6 days a week to win a title of pride or a check with a lot of zeros on it. They often work this hard because they are fueled by passion. We are fueled by a promise, and on top of that the most perfect relationship we could ever long for, each step we take we grow in strength instead of growing weary. We will receive the most amazing price above all, living forever in the realm of perfect love. How can we not run as fast as we can! The race is short! God bless those who devote their lives to running this race and doing your best to find those who don't know there is a race to run.
Today I will run as fast as I can.
