You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth? That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you. (Galatians 5:7–8, NIV 1984).
My Musings – “You were running a good race.” But somewhere along the line you stopped listening to “the one who calls you,” and started listening to the call of the world. You stopped “obeying the truth” and turned to the lies of the evil one. Subtle at first. What was the harm? But now, when you lift your eyes it’s hard to believe you’ve strayed so far.
My Advice – Want to get back in the race? You can never stray too far that the Lord will not welcome you back with open arms. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.” (Luke 15:20, NIV 1984). That’s how it will be. Resolve to get back on the track, to stay in your lane and fix your eyes on the finish line.
