JESUS....The Right Way!
Philippians 4:8, “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy” meditate on these things.

In a recent NCAA cross-country championship held in Riverside, California, 123 of the 128 runners missed a turn.
One competitor, Mike Delcavo, stayed on the 10,000 meter course and began waving for fellow runners to follow him.
Delcavo was able to convince only four other runners to go with him.
Asked what his competitors thought of his mid-race decision not to follow the crowd, Delcavo responded, "They thought it was funny that I went the Right Way."
Delcavo was one who ran correctly.

In the same way, our goal is to run correctly; to finish the race marked out for us by Christ. For Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
We can rejoice over those who have courage to follow, ignoring the laughter of the crowd.
As the Apostle Paul said in 2 Timothy 4:7-8 "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness."
Keep your eyes on God, hide God’s Word in your heart and meditate on it day and night.
Joshua 1:8, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”
Blessed Day!
