Thankfully, this life isn’t about sprinting - you might live 100 years or not make it to 30 - either way that is only the first few steps of a much longer race.
Don’t get frustrated when you see those sprinters pass you by - most are living like this life is all they’ve got and are not preparing for the long run into eternity. We will surely make some missteps along the way, but our eyes need to remain on Jesus – the ultimate and eternal Goal that we are running towards.
Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. (Hebrews 12:1-3)
