Run the Raceサンプル

Week Six - Day Six - 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 took Jesus into the river Jordan and baptised him - something wonderful happened as he did this. 

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 took Jesus into the river Jordan and baptised him - as Jesus came out of the water, the Holy Spirit came down from heaven in the form of a Dove. 

It landed on Jesus - then God said - “This is my son and I love him, I am very pleased with him”.  

The Holy Spirit is from God - it is part of God’s plan for us all - that we would have the Holy Spirit as our helper. 

ASK:

Did you know that God wants us all to have the Holy Spirit as our helper? 

How do you think that the Holy Spirit could help you today? 

Have a chat with your grownup about this and maybe ask them how the Holy Spirit helps them? 

We would love to know what you think - ask your grownup to send your thoughts 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.
