As a child of Child of God there are some guidelines that one must take or follow. If I may I would like to compare this to a long distance runner. God is so awesome in how he takes everyday life as example hence; we have the parables. There are different types of distance running, also called marathon running, involves running distances of 1.86 miles (3 km) or more, often in a competitive setting. 3K, 5K, 10K, half marathon, cross-country and marathon races are all examples of long distance running. Ultimately, to make this run the body has to get in shape. It takes strength, speed, endurance aerobics skills, exercise and I believe sacrifice to run such distances and, therefore, anyone who is interested in distance running must train appropriately and adequately in order to avoid injuries to the body.

1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air; I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.

I love this verse because it gives strength when it seems you want to give up but don’t be reminded in God’s Word; Isaiah 40:31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
