Run the RaceSample

 Week One - Day One - God is my Coach 

Welcome to our ‘Run the Race’ Devotional - we are so excited to have you following along with us as we journey through the Bible.  We are taking a look at some people in the Bible to find out how they ‘Run the Race’ that God set before them.  Each of us has a ‘Race to Run’, something that God has made us for.  Our ‘Race’ is like a lane on the running track but the best, most exciting thing is, we get to ‘Run our Race’ together with God and He provides EVERYTHING that we need to complete our Race!

This week we are going to be looking at Abraham and Sarah and how they listened to God’s coaching and did what He said.

READ:

‘A New Home’ in the Beginners Bible (pages 39-45) or in Genesis 17. 

Sarah and Abraham both loved God. They listened to Him and did what He said. 

God told Abraham to move to a new land. God coached them and told them exactly how to do this!

This week we are learning that God is our Coach. What do you think a coach does? 

A coach is someone who teaches others how to do something, like a football coach or a teacher. 

Abraham and Sarah ‘Ran the Race’ set before them by God and God provided all that they needed! 

ASK:

Is there someone who coaches/teaches you? 

REMEMBER:

‘So we have many people of faith around us. Their lives tell us what faith means. So let us run the race that is set before us and never give up’ (Hebrews 12:1) 

SAY: 

I am an Overcomer  

I can run my race

I can raise a happy sound.

His people all around.

My God has given me everything

He is faithful and true,

With my eyes firmly fixed on Him

His power will get me through! 

In Jesus name, Amen.
