Living a life of faith for God is a lot like running a marathon. To run a marathon you have dedicate yourself to running, you have to train, and you have to begin the race. As you’re running you’ll tire out and you might even regret starting the race. But if you look around you’ll see others who are feeling the same way. Others who are tired, sore, and broken.
Living a life of faith for God is hard, but if we look for God in those around us we can lighten our load. In Hebrews Chapter 12, it says “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.”
Our baptism is the beginning of faith and when we are welcomed into the family of God. From there, living a life of faith isn’t necessarily an easy thing to do. How can we prepare ourselves for this?
The theme verse for our summer at camp was 1 Corinthians 16:14, “Let all that you do be done in love.” This can be the start of a life of faith for God. By doing God’s will on earth, we showing all who see us the power of God. By spreading God’s love for all to see we can live a life of faith.
Remember, the path is long and tiresome, but by looking to each other our marathon of faith can be run with ease.
