Run the Raceサンプル

 Week Six - Day Three - I can Run my Race

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!

John would tell people about God’s wonderful forgiveness and invite them to say sorry….

READ:

John Baptises Jesus  in the Beginners Bible (pages 303 - 307 ) or in Matthew 3:1-17, Mark 1:1-11, Luke 3:1-22 or John 1:1-34.

John told people about God’s wonderful forgiveness and would invite them to say sorry to God for all the bad things they had done. 

Part of God’s plan for John was that he would help people to understand how much He loved them - this was just one part of John’s ‘Race to Run’. 

Many people decided to follow God and John would baptise the people in the river. 

John loved God and loved to ‘Run his Race’ and help all the people around him ‘Run their Race’ following God also. 

ASK:

Have you ever seen anyone or have you been Baptised? 

Have a chat with your grownup and talk about what you understand about Baptism. 

Are there any questions you have for us?  Ask your grownup to send them to us on Facebook or Instagram. 

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.
