Have a God First Philosophy


“but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.” 2 Peter 3:18 NKJV


In an interesting story published yesterday by businesswire titled “Brooks Running Continues to Deliver Double-Digit Growth Globally,” it was reported that powered by performance and a runner-first philosophy, Brooks posts 17% revenue growth in Q3. Brooks Running achieved its ninth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth, increasing revenue by 17% in Q3 as all regions and channels delivered double-digit gains. A leader in performance run, Brooks accelerated global expansion efforts, growing year-to-date revenue by 23% in Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) and 82% in Asia Pacific and Latin America (APLA) over the same horizon last year. Brooks’ unwavering focus on runners continues to strengthen its position on the global stage as the running category expands worldwide.


“Our entire global team wakes up every day thinking about the runner – how they move, what they feel, the experience they desire and expect from their Brooks gear,” said Dan Sheridan, Brooks Running CEO. With that mindset, it’s not surprising that they would be experiencing so much growth.


This growth mindset that’s always looking to become better is the same mindset believers should have. Hence the reason we are told to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” And obviously to do that means we must seek to know Jesus by waking up every day thinking about Him and reading the Bible so we will know what He desires and expects from us. It’s a mindset that puts Jesus first and keeps an unwavering focus on becoming more like Him.


You can be sure that developing this mindset will pay off in more ways than one. You see, the more a person grows in their knowledge of Jesus, the more they will live to bring Him glory. And when they live to bring Him glory, they can’t help but be the salt and light (making things better and brighter for others by bringing out the God flavors and God colors to the world) every follower of Jesus is called to be--impacting a world in desperate need of saving. 


So, seek to develop a God-first philosophy with your whole heart my friend. Put Him first in all things and you will reap rewards and success in your Christian walk far beyond comprehension.


Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding us that in all things we are to put You first. Help us to develop this discipline so that we would not only walk the righteous path ourselves but would lead others to walk it as well. Give us a passion to seek your word each and every morning Lord that we might grow and thrive. It’s in your precious name we pray Jesus. Amen.


Happy Running!
