God once spoke a captivating comparison to a discouraged, disappointed and disillusioned prophet. “If you have raced against men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses?” (Jeremiah 12:5.) Jeremiah’s experience reflects our own - life can be overwhelming.

For example, God might challenge us to leave the highway of mediocrity and race like a champion race car driver. More than we like to admit, we find ourselves stuck in traffic by complaining about our circumstances, taking wrong exits toward insignificant details, heading for the parking lot of bitterness, or jumping on the bus of unworthy goals while settling for less than God’s best for our lives.
