The Race Is His But Your Faithfulness Matters

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Aug 2, 2025

Because the race belongs to Christ alone, we are called not to carry its full weight but to run our leg with faithfulness—working, resting, and trusting that our part in God’s eternal plan matters.

The Race Is His But Your Faithfulness Matters Time is short, eternity is long, so live your life wisely Longevity is a grace—an extension of time from the hand of God. But with it often comes a sobering awareness: the words of Genesis 3:19 still echo through time—“for you are dust, and to dust ...read more
