WRITE--READ--RUN

Whether it's a recipe, the Constitution of the United States, wedding vows, or a personal or company's Mission Statement--we need to write it down, refer to it often ( by reading it), and then put it into action (run with it)--incorporate it into your lifestyle.  Habakkuk 2:2 tells us to "write the vision so those who read it can run with it."   When's the last time you read any of these things?

Joshua's instructed in Joshua 1:8 to mediate on The Word day and night--observe it--do according to all that is written in it.  When Jesus was confronted and tempted by the devil, He began the confrontation with the words, "It is written...!"  Get the idea?

If I don't write out a grocery list for my husband, or if he just glances at it--no telling what he will come home with!  Even if he reads it (but leaves the list at home), he forgets much of it.  Aren't we like that with God's Word?  We glance at a few verses--then either leave out or forget some of what it says (is written)--and only remember the parts we like.

Our country's forgotten what's written in our Constitution--and/or is failing to follow it (run with it).  We're slipping away from what we, as a nation, once stood on.  Therefore, we slidding down a slippery slope!

Christianity was formed at the foot of the cross--on a firm foundation of God's Word (The Bible).  But, too many have walked away and gone astray.  Many so-called Christians merely have a casual acquaintanceship with Christ rather than a deep, abiding relationship.

I urge you to read regularly and often what's written in His Word and then remember it...refer to it daily...and run with it!
