"And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised." Hebrews 6:15
When looking for ways to become a faster and stronger runner, have you ever considered weight training? Contrary to what some people think, the two go hand and hand. Not only will adding a strength workout help you run faster, it will help you run longer. And, at the longer distances when you're bound to feel fatigued, getting stronger will help you maintain good running form which will make you less prone to injury. As you can see then, weight training is a necessary part of making a runner the best that he or she can be.
You know God wants us to be the best that we can be too and many times uses "wait training" to make us so. Did you know that after God promised Abraham that he would have a son, 25 years passed before the birth of Isaac? Talk about waiting a while! But not only did Abraham wait but scripture tells us that he waited patiently and, "after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised." I don't know about you but I don't know if I could be patient for a quarter century. But Abraham did and, in doing so, his faith became stronger and he became the best that he could be going on to have "descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as sand on the seashore." (Hebrews 11:12)
So you see, while "wait training" in the midst of trials, hardships and doubt can be hard, it is a necessary part of making us the best that we can be-the person God wants us to be, the person he can and will use to do his will.
Heavenly Father, thank you for the examples of the saints that went before us that, after waiting patiently, were rewarded because of their faith. Help us to trust you and your timing that we might do the same and, by doing so, have stronger faith. A faith so strong that you would use us to do the things you have called us to. It's in your precious name we pray, Jesus. Amen.
Happy Running!!!
