Recently while exercising at the gym I was watching ESPN and their coverage of the Paralympic Games. I was watching the Track-and-Field portion of the program and was fascinated by the Women's Visually Impaired (blind) 100 meter dash. The event put the runners in odd numbered lanes and a seeing-aid in the even number lanes. In this case, each woman was paired with a man running beside them all the way to the finish line. Their aid helped with keeping in their lane by giving them instructions, but also to encourage them and let them know what place they were in.
I couldn't help but see the connection to our "race" as Christians. Christ is not waiting at the finish line to see if we make it or not. No! Like the runner-aid, Christ runs right beside us. He urges us on to keep going and finish our race. He also helps guide us with his words to help keep us going in a straight path and staying in our lane that is marked out for us.
