“I run straight toward the goal to win the prize that God's heavenly call offers in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:14 GWT)
Have you ever been at a crisis point? Do you feel like you are in a period of desperation right now? When we are in trouble, when we feel overwhelmed and exhausted, it is natural to get disoriented. We can’t figure out what to do or whom to turn to for help. We find ways to release our tension; we talk to our friends and loved ones; we search online for solutions.
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Wherever you are in life right now, whatever the problems you face--the final solution is with God. When you are stressed, it is tempting to run around haphazardly, looking for answers everywhere. But the shortest distance between a crisis point and the end point is to run straight to Jesus.
Lord, once again, I find myself at a point of desperation. Help me not to slow down, take breaks, or deviate from the direct path that leads to You. May I run straight toward the goal to win the prize that God's heavenly call offers in Christ Jesus.
