| The Race Isn't Over |
|
V: Good morning, Don.
D: Good morning, Vicki.
V: Were you voted the person "Most Likely To Succeed" in high school?
D: Actually, our high school did not have that award.
V: Really? Well, today's Power for Today author says that in life we cannot always tell who will win.
D: He's right. It is also true that the "race" is not always "to the swift."
V: Can you explain what that means?
D: Well, "race" here is a symbol for life. The word "swift" means "very fast."
V: I see. And so the expression "the race is not to the swift" means that the winner of the "race" does not depend on speed.
D: That's right. The author says that our Christian race is not a "sprint, but a marathon."
V: Okay. Help me one more time.
D: I can see you're not a runner. A "sprint" is a very short race, and the winners must be able to run very fast.
V: I know the rest. A "marathon" is a long distance race that lasts a couple of hours.
D: Right. In a marathon, speed is not important. Endurance and strength are important.
V: I like the author's final words in the reading.
D: Yes, I agree with him. He says that we win the Christian race not by finishing ahead of others, but simply by finishing.
V: And that's the one race in life that I definitely want to finish.
D: Me too. This is the race that we run one day at a time.
V: Well, today's race has already started. Have a good one.
D: You too. |
