The Bible uses a lot of running analogies, and the half-marathon I completed over the weekend really helped drive them home.Show Notes VERSES CITED: - “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to take the prize. Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict discipline. They do it for a crown that is perishable, but we do it for a crown that is imperishable. Therefore I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight like I am beating

Jesus calls us to "love your neighbor as yourself," and what closer neighbor do you have than the spouse who shares your bed each night? Loving your husband is something wives need to do not only on special occasions like Valentine's Day and wedding anniversaries, but every minute of every hour of every day, all year long.

2024/01/15

God should be more than the top item on my to-do list. When we think in terms of putting God first, then by definition, something else comes next. It implies that once God's been given His fair share, the rest of my resources are mine to do with as I please, to pour into family, job, hobbies, or whatever else might be on my list. But that's not entirely accurate. This whole hierarchical way of thinking is fundamentally flawed. God transcends our to-do list, and our devotion to Him must be
