Today’s word of encouragement is “going the extra mile.” I’m not sure how many of you are like me, but find it a chore to run. With the days that I go for a run, I try to run 2.4km; however recently I’ve been pushing myself to go more, to not give up so easily, as tired as your body is and you will just keep going.
Going the extra mile is an example of God pushing us, challenging us to do things differently, to expand our minds, stretching us to our limit. Today’s word of encouragement is to spend quality time with God and ask Him what areas of our walk with God can we all go the extra mile in. It could be writing down a list of friends we have which we can reach out to, people in our office whom we can reach out to, for those that are married it is spending time with your wife/husband building that relationship no matter how long you have been married for. Furthermore, developing and growing the gifts that God has given us, serving in a ministry at church which God has called us to help out in, and not just attend church on Sunday’s. There are so many areas where God can challenge us to go the extra mile in, I ask you what area do you see God challenging you in today?
Time is ticking away and God is waiting for us to take action, to get up, to do something, to go beyond what we are already doing. I pray that we all would be challenged today to ask God what are areas in our lives that we can go the extra mile in.
In 2 Corinthians 4:7-9 our Father says to us all, “But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” -- By: Shaun Lee
