Run Forest Gump Run


In the movie "Forest Gump" we see Forest succeedin just about every aspect of his life. What weadmire most about him is his ability to overcomephysical obstacles all throughout his life. Butwhat we didn't see is Forest had much more goingfor him than just being naive and gutsy. We firstsee this in a scene where he is a child withbraces on his legs. His best friend Jennie and himare walking home one day and some boys are pickingon Forest and throwing rocks at him. Jennie yellsout, "RUN FOREST RUN", so what did Forest do? Heran, and ran and ran. He ran so much and so hardthat his braces broke from his legs and he neverhad to wear them again.

A real close friend said to me recently, "Drawingcloser to God and having a relationship with himis like running a race. You focus on the cross andyou run, run and run. And on occasion you look toyour side and see who is running along side you.It may be a friend, it may be a family member, oran accountability partner, or your spouse,girlfriend. But if you notice competitive runnersthey don't look back and wait for theircompetitors to be along side them. They stayfocused on the course ahead. In the end, ForestGump lived every experience with Jennie right byhis side. While she wasn't there physically allthe time, she was there in spirit; loving,inspiring, and encouraging him to run his racethat only he could run.

So it is with God, the bible says in Hebrews 12:1,"Therefore since we are surrounded by such a hugecrowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let usstrip off every weight that slows us down,especially the sin that hinders our progress. Andlet us run with endurance the race that God hasset before us. (NLT)

Yes, we want our loved ones to come along and yesif we are single we want a mate, yet the funnything is this. When we take the attitude God wantsus to take and focus on the cross, you may besurprised one day just like forest was when helooked to his side and saw all his hippie friendsrunning along side him across country, thatsomeone that God wants in your life will be rightthere with you running the race.

Run a race this week! Focus on the fact that Jesusgave his life for us on the cross. Crank up theintensity, sign up for a building U course, takean ABF class, and invite someone to your house forfellowship.

Whatever it takes, RUN, RUN, AND RUN TO THE CROSSTHIS WEEK.
