I love the Hoyt family! What a beautiful picture this is of our true condition and the work that the Father does to get us across the finish line! You see, He does the work. We obey, we submit, we get to rejoice with Him as we cross the finish line together.
He is pushing and pulling us to joy and fullness of life when we listen to Him. We will never outgrow our needs, especially not our need for God, because He wants us to need Him. The Father has chosen that He will not accomplish His purposes without His people. (Isaiah 55:3-5)
Think how fast Dick would be without his son...but because He loves his son so much and wants him to live the fullest life possible, he pushes and pulls him to victory. He will not race without him. If the goal was to just finish the race as quickly as possible God would not use us. Decide now if you haven't already to obey the voice of the one true God, and let Him push you across the finish line.
"Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a could of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Romans 12:1-2
