In an article titled "30+ Best Cyber Monday Deals for Runners in 2022" published by Runner's World yesterday, the following was said: Cyber Monday is here and the deals are full steam ahead. And after a few years of a global pandemic, everyone has gotten used to doing the bulk of their holiday shopping online, and thankfully, brands have paid attention. So many of your favorite retailers are offering major online deals on running gear for Cyber Monday 2022, so now’s the time to start shopping for yourself or even a gift for someone on your holiday list. We sorted through the thousands of deals to help you find the best prices on running gear, shoes, headphones, smartwatches, and more top-rated fitness products. So read on below for the best Cyber Monday running gear deals worth shopping right now. They sure took the work out of  finding the best deals didn’t they?

And you know, finding great online deals isn't the only thing that doesn't require work. The Bible tells us that it's "by grace" that you and I have been saved and "not by works..." Which means salvation, or the forgiveness of sins, is a gift that we don't deserve and could never work for. That's why it's a "gift of God," freely given to us the moment we put our faith in Jesus Christ. And you can be sure that this "gift" is immeasurably more precious and priceless than anything we could ever find in a store or online. In fact, if unsaved people truly understood the infinite eternal value of receiving salvation you can be sure they would head straight to the Giver of the gift to receive it as well. 

So if you have already accepted the "gift of God" that is salvation, count yourself blessed my friend. But remember that there are countless people in this world who haven't; people that need to hear the Good News of the Gospel. And that's where you come in. Won't you share that Good News today? 

Heavenly Father, thank You for the reminder that there are lost people in this world in desperate need of salvation. Give us a sense of urgency in reaching these people Lord as the days are drawing shorter. Help us to remember that we are all called to be missionaries whether we are in our own backyards or in a foreign country. It's in your precious name pray Jesus. Amen, 

Happy Running!!!
