Who Hindered You?



Who hindered you from running?
Who caused you to be sluggish?
Who kept you from your appointed task?
Who told you to stop and not go on?
Who kept you from crossing the finish line?
Who kept you from being a winner?
Who told you it was o.k. to give up?
Who said you really don’t deserve this prize?
Who gave you negative words to defeat your purpose?
Who cast doubts on your life’s dream?
Who said quitting is an option, you couldn’t do it anyway?
Who said you’ll never make it, move on?
Who said that’s the way life is, deal with it?

BUT THEN WHO SAID

In Hebrews 12:1 that “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.” This passage tells us that we could win this race and that in due season if we faint not, we shall win this race.

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. (Ecc.3:1) There is a time and a season for everything that happens in your life. You shall win if you trust the Lord to be your trainer. Redeem the time that the Lord has given you. Run this race as if it meant your life, for it may cost you yours and those who are watching the race.

I loved Who Hindered You. So many times we blame other people, but who said you can't! Does this mean we have to beleive it? No!
I plan to post these wonderful words of encouragement in my office that others may be enlighten. It is my prayer that it would minister to them as it continues to uplift me. Continue to be Christ voice, He eyes, His hands and His feet.
Thank You!!
