What Is Your Race?
“[The sun] is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; it rejoices like a strong man to run its race.” – Psalm 19:5
This verse paints a beautiful picture: the sun rising each day with excitement, like a groom stepping out on his wedding day or a runner bursting out of the gate with joy.
It’s not just about the sun—it’s a reflection of Jesus. He’s our Bridegroom, and He ran His race with joy, knowing the purpose and the reward. “For the joy set before Him, He endured the cross…” (Hebrews 12:2). That joy? Us. Relationship. Redemption.
Jesus didn’t run halfheartedly. He ran with passion and purpose. And now, He invites us to do the same.
We each have a race to run. There’s a race we all share—loving God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and loving others as ourselves. But there’s also a unique path God has set before each of us—a personal calling, designed just for you.
You won’t find that race through striving or comparison. It’s discovered through relationship—with trust, faith, and daily connection to the Father.
Your race won’t always be easy. It might stretch you, challenge you, even bring tears. But it will also bring deep joy, meaning, and a sense of anticipation for what’s ahead.
So—what’s your race?
Whatever it is, run it like the Son. Run with joy.
