Anticipation
The crowd is talking amongst themselves. They are ready for the big race. The racers are at the starting line. The first engine revs up, and the crowd falls silent, as the rest of the racers start their bikes up. I watch as the gentleman with the flags walks to the middle of the track, only about 10 feet in front of them. My heart begins to pound ninety to nothing, as the flagman's red flag raises into the air. The racers hearts at this moment are probably pounding ten times faster than mine is...after all, I am only a spectator. I watch as the red flag is lowered, and the green flag is raised, and quickly swung in a downward and to the left. The engines roar, and the flagman runs to the left side of the track, right in time to escape the 20 bikes whizzing by him. My heartbeat slows down, as the bikes and their riders are off. So it will be during the last days. Those who are saved, will feel the quickening, and anticipation of the Spirit of God, and when the green flag is raised, it wont be tired treading dirt, but our feet leaving the ground! What a Race!
*giggles* this pic is GREAT!
The Great Race
Racing is GREAT, but nothing compares to the GREAT RACE. We must strive everyday to reach the Mark! To obtain the prize! We cannot miss this finish line! We can be in all the motocross races we want, and win the most trophies, but if we never win the GREATEST Prize of all, Eternal life, then all of our trophies were won in vain. And if you do not have the Holy Ghost living inside you, then you have not even begun to obtain the Prize. Acts 2:38 gives us clear instructions on what to do to be saved- Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin, and Ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:38) then in the next verse of scripture, it says that its not just for the ones back then...but for the ones afar off, and it then says that its for "even as many as the Lord our God shall call." Well, do you want Him to call you? If so, then thats talking about YOU too! for more info, please contact me: sweetpea_upc@juno.com
