Running

Went running this afternoon, jogged for ~12k without resting, my longest running distance yet!  Speed was a little slow, but I can work on that later after I’m able to reach the targeted half-marathon distance.

On my walk home, I thought about what was said about achieving your dreams from my previous devotional plan.  If I remember correctly, it more or less consists of the following stages:

Dream – you have a vision of what you want to achieve

Decision – making the decision to reach for your dream

Delay – often time it takes much longer than you would expect to achieve your dream, just like the many years that took the Israelite to reach Canaan

Dead End – one may reach a dead end along the way, just like the Israelite reaching Red Sea while being pursued

Deliverance – if we humble ourselves and seek God’s guidance, He will ultimately deliver us and help us reach the promised land

These stages also seem to apply to running and many other things…
