God has set a race before us -- to run courageously, not cautiously, to boldly declare His Words of life and hope of a supernatural Kingdom into a dark and struggling world.
But if our faith and love falter at the first hint of conflict, or we are tethered to petty distractions in the world, how will we contend with the horses in the battle without faltering or stumbling? Where will we find the strength to continue?
God is training and preparing us for the days of battle ahead so that we will endure in the midst of darkness, crisis, and disaster. We will surpass the footmen in the day of battle and will run, run, run with the horses (Jeremiah 12:5).
