Psalm 18:29-33 ‘For by thee I have run through a troop; by my God have I leaped over a wall…. It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places.’
DAILY READING • Luke 11:29-54; Genesis 20; Psalm 13
One of the greatest comebacks in athletic history took place on March 2nd 2008 during the Big Ten Indoor Track Championship.
One of the top competitors in the women’s 600-meter race, was Heather Dorniden Kampf,. While this race was expected to be a close contest between the top runners, what happened during the race, however, was beyond anyone’s imagination.
The race started off as expected, but as they were jostling for positions, Heather found herself boxed in by the other runners and stumbled, falling to the ground. The fall was a hard one, and it looked like she had injured herself badly. However, what happened next was nothing short of miraculous.
As soon as she hit the ground, Heather sprang back up to her feet and took off running again. By this time the other runners were way ahead of her but with amazing resilience, she chased them down one by one, overtaking each person, until she had managed to catch up to those leading the race. With just a few meters left to go, she zipped past everyone else and finally crossed the finish line to win the race.
Heather who is a Christian believes God imparted divine strength into her that enabled her to win. She told the media that in the last 50 meters, she was infused with strength she never knew she had and gave God all the glory for divinely empowering her to win.
Often times in life’s race, when the going gets tough or you get knocked down, it can be tempting to just give up and throw in the towel. But the truth is that the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong and by strength shall no man prevail. It is only by God’s grace that we can win in life’s race. Despite the stumbling blocks the enemy often throws on your path to cause you to stumble, you can still exceed every expectation and win.
If you feel knocked down along the way, or find the stumbling blocks too many to overcome, don’t give up yet. There is a Scriptural mystery and divine wisdom you can apply to cause things to turn around for you. Praise is a vital secret for winning in life’s race
When you praise God, the joy of the Lord becomes your strength. You are then divinely empowered to run through a troop; and leap over the wall. [Psalm 18:29-33].
When you praise God, He will raise you above limitations and release upon you the overtaker’s anointing to go past expectations and break barriers.
If there’s been a drag in your efforts and you feel left behind as this year races to an end, then it is time to engage divine help through praise.
As you take time to worship before God, you will receive divine wisdom and direction to know what to do to still excel in your endeavors.
So do not limit yourself to present circumstances.
Raise the bar of your expectations because something is about to happen.
Certainly in this season, God will make your feet as hind’s feet and cause you to ride upon your high places,
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for empowering to win every race set before me this year. As I praise You today, I thank You for causing me to ride upon my high places in Jesus Name. .
