Running on Faith Weekday Devotions: Is Jesus Your Coach

Per previous message: During the 1987-88 school yr at First Lutheran in Manhattan (KS), I purchased a white t-shirt with blue font and collar from Jim Ryun that read “Jesus is My Coach.”

I wore that t-shirt while running thru mid-August 2011; it finally disintegrated to unwearable. Of course, Ryun was the first high schooler to break the 4:00 mile and a 3X Olympian including the fall of his Sr. year in high school. before returning to run State Cross Country. Additionally, Ryun held approximately eight world records (including relays).

• Do you believe that Jim Ryun understood the depth and breadth of being Coachable?
• Once again, are you and I Coachable before the Lord?

Do you we daily focus on the fundamentals of meditating on and responding to God’s:

• Holiness, Righteousness, and Love?
• Forgiveness of each person’s sin only thru belief in Jesus Christ?
• Word in the Bible?
• Desire for our Prayer?
• Activity in our daily life?
• Indwelling Holy Spirit of each believer?
