You’re on a need-to-know basis.
God is Encouraging

Is there something slowing you down from running life’s race to its fullest? We often drag around the burdensome beast of sin. We may even carry guilt on our back, like a thought that God couldn’t forgive that little monkey of a transgression. How about those nasty rats that tell us that God doesn’t want us to win? They all may even seem cute and harmless, but they are animals; on the inside they are full of no good fluff.

God doesn’t want us to run like that. The Bible is full of God’s promises that encourage us in the race of life. He wants us to run free! Beginning with the freedom that comes from trusting in Jesus as one’s Lord and Savior, relying on God at every curve, confessing any sin critter we pick up along the way, dropping that baggage, and living the life God calls us to live in Christ Jesus.

Isn’t it good to know how we can run the race and finish strong. God can knock the stuffing out of any sin!
