The Bible compares the Christian life to a race in Hebrews 12:1. Unfortunately, many people approach it as if it were a sprint, in which a quick start counts, or a middle-distance race to run smoothly. The real comparison is with a marathon, where various things and people are trying to slow us down or stop us. We must approach the race with the right mindset and with the knowledge that God provides us with the means to go all the way. What a tragedy it would be to abandon the race when victory is certain!

They take you out of the way. They are longer than you originally had planned to travel. But they are necessary. God allows detours in your life because He cares more for your character than your comfort, more for your purity than your productivity. He cares about your destiny!

While Abram waited for his promised child, an alternative to the covenant was born named Ishmael. Ishmael is a metaphor for things that 'anesthetize' us from the pain of waiting too long for God's promises.
