Circumstances may appear to wreck our lives and God's plans, but God is not helpless among the ruins. God's love is still working. He comes in and takes the calamity and uses it victoriously, working out His wonderful plan of love.

The secret of my success over the 400m is that I run the first 200m as fast as I can. Then, for the second 200m, with God's help I run faster.
Eric Liddell
'The secret of my success in the 400m race is that I sprint the first 200m with all my might. Then, with divine intervention, I find a way to push even harder for the remaining stretch.'

I have no formula for winning the race. Everyone runs in her own way, or his own way. And where does the power come from, to see the race to its end? From within. Jesus said, 'Behold, the Kingdom of God is within you. If with all your hearts, you truly seek me, you shall ever surely find me.' If you commit yourself to the love of Christ, then that is how you run a straight race.

Victory over all the circumstances of life comes not by might, nor by power, but by a practical confidence in God and by allowing His Spirit to dwell in our hearts and control our actions and emotions. Learn in the days of ease and comfort, to think in terms of the prayer that follows, so that when the days of hardship come you will be fully prepared and equipped to meet them.

Obedience to God's will is the secret of spiritual knowledge and insight. It is not willingness to know, but willingness to DO (obey) God's will that brings certainty.
Eric Liddell
Submission to the Lord's wishes is the cornerstone of divine wisdom and discernment. It is not readiness to comprehend, but readiness to EXECUTE (fulfill) the Lord's desires that brings assurance.

As Christians, I challenge you. Have a great aim - have a high standard - make Jesus your ideal...make Him an ideal not merely to be admired but also to be followed.
Eric Liddell
I urge you as believers, to set a lofty goal - strive for excellence - make Jesus your epitome...not only to revere but also exemplify.

In the dust of defeat as well as the laurels of victory there is a glory to be found if one has done his best.

You will know as much of God, and only as much of God, as you are willing to put into practice.
Eric Liddell
'You will comprehend as much of the Divine, and only as much of the Divine, as you are willing to enact.'

If you are not guided by God, you will be guided by something or someone else.
