I’M IN MY OWN LANE!

Ecclesiastes 9:11 (KJV) I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.    Many Christians make the mistake of comparing their journey to the journey of others! Phrases like, "I know where I'm supposed to be by now," whilst popular, are not of God! Today's verse informs us that the race is not to the swift. Just because you’re not where you thought you’d be by now doesn't mean God has forgotten you or you are less important in His eyes. Your time and chance will come! In athletic circles, Olympic sprinters are encouraged to focus on the finish line and not to look back over their shoulders during a race, as it can potentially slow them down. In the same way, when you look at others’ race instead of focusing on your own lane, you may lose sight of the finish line and slow yourself down! Learn to focus solely on what God has called you to be. Grow in His Word every day, and don’t be concerned about what others are doing! PROPHETIC DECLARATION  I am in my own lane! I am focused on my finish line; I do not look over my shoulder during the race in Jesus’ Name! Amen.  FURTHER STUDY Isaiah 26:3
