You weren’t made to run aimlessly—you were made to run with purpose. Hebrews 12:1–2 reminds us to throw off everything that hinders us and to run with perseverance, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the ultimate example of purposeful living. Like Paul challenges in 1 Corinthians 9, we’re not just running to run—we’re running for a prize that lasts forever. That kind of race takes discipline, focus, and a willingness to say no to distractions so we can say yes to God’s calling. You were created on purpose, for a purpose (Ephesians 2:10), and you discover that purpose not in isolation but in community (Ephesians 4:16). As you run, keep your eyes on Jesus, link arms with others, and stay on mission—because every step of obedience is a step into the life God prepared for you.
