Marathon,Not a Sprint!”“Fuel Properly”
In early summer of 1965, a University of Florida assistant
coach sat down with a team of
university physicians and asked them to
determine why so many of his players
were being affected by heat and heat related
illnesses.The end result was
the invention of Gatorade!
The researchers — Dr. Robert Cade, Dr. Dana Shires, Dr. H. James Free and Dr. Alejandro
de Quesada — soon discovered two key factors that were causing the Gator players to ‘wilt’
…the fluids and electrolytes the
players lost through sweat were not being
replaced, and the large amounts of
carbohydrates the players' bodies used for energy were not being
replenished.
…The researchers then took their
findings into the lab, and
scientifically formulated a new, precisely balanced
carbohydrate-electrolyte
beverage that would adequately replace the key components…
…lost by Gator players through
sweating and exercise.
The end result was the
invention of Gatorade!
Life has a way of depleting
the inner reserves of the
bravest, strongest and
most determined!
1 Corinthians 9:24-25
“Do you not know that those who run in a race all
run, but one receives the
prize? Run in such a way that you
may obtain it. And everyone who
competes for the prize is temperate
in all things.
1 Corinthians 9:24-25
…now they do it to obtain a
perishable crown, but we for an imperishable
crown.”
How can one’s life be
sustained for the long and demanding
journey?
RenewalWe are not machines!
“Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the
young men shall utterly fall, But
those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their
strength; They shall mount up with
wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not
faint.” Isaiah 40:30-31
Patience & Wisdom
We are notall-knowing!
“But let patience have its perfect
work, that you may be perfect and
complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God,
who gives to all liberally and
without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with
no…
“…doubting, for he who doubts is like a
wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.” James
1:4-6
FocusWe are not
single-minded!
“Brethren, I do not count myself to
have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are
behind and reaching forward to those things which are
ahead, I press toward the goal for
the prize…
“…of the upward call of God in Christ
Jesus.” Philippians 3:13-14
Encouragement
We are not totally
solitary!
“I am with you always, even to the end of the age..” Matthew
28:20
The Key to Getting to the Finish
Line!“...looking
unto Jesus, the author and
finisher of our faith...”
