WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL (FEBRUARY 1-14, 2015): “RUNNING THE RACE”

/ Devotionals / 1 minute of reading

By Jeff Reedy

Verse(s): “With so many witnesses in a great cloud all around us, we too, then, should throw off everything that weighs us down and the sin that clings so closely, and with perseverance keep running in the race which lies ahead of us.” — Hebrews 12:1

Reflection: There are many calls on our time and energy every day. Everything demands that we give it our attention, and never lets up.

But God is calling us, too. He calls us to be salt and light in this world. To run the race He sets before us. And that means finding what truly matters… what is the highest priority… and putting that first. It also means saying no to smaller demands that are less important.

Faith Challenge: This week, let us stop for a moment and think what truly matters in our lives. Ask for God’s wisdom in determining where we should place our focus.

And then, when we are clear which direction we’re going… RUN.

Facilities closed: 

The permanent closure of an abortion or abortion-referral facility that had a Sidewalk Advocates for Life presence.

Workers who quit: 

An abortion worker who was influenced by prayer and sidewalk advocacy to leave the business. We refer all workers to And Then There Were None, a ministry that assists abortion workers in transitioning out of the industry.

 

Hopeful saves: 

A “hopeful save” is recorded when a pregnant woman leaves the abortion/abortion-referral facility still pregnant to “think about it,” armed with life-affirming literature and a referral to the local pregnancy resource center

 

Babies saved: 

A baby is recorded as a “save” when a pregnant woman accepts our offer of help at the local pregnancy resource center (PRC), verbally shares that she has chosen life, or gives us very clear signs that she has chosen life.
