1. On Your Marks! At the start of a race, every athlete knows to pay attention to the sound of the gun so they can take off immediately and stand a better chance of winning the race over their other counterparts.
2. While resting at the starting line, nothing else matters - not the cheering crowd or even their beating heart. But a critical thing that helps an athlete win a race might not be the long strides or energy expended. It
usually lies in not looking back.
3. It only slows you down no matter how fast you might be running. 2020 has come and gone; it's now in the past where it belongs. The best of God, for you and yours, is never in the past but in the future.
4. Steady yourself, be still, take a deep breath and trust that when the whistle blows, God would put the wind in your sails and carry you from start to finish - as long as you don't look back.
5. Confession: Believing that the best of God for me and mine is in the future, I run this race with faith and grace. I will not look back.
6. "Brothers and Sisters, I don't consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do, forgetting what is behind & straining toward what is ahead."
- Philippians 3:13 [NIV]

1. You may have heard health professionals
recommend 10,000 steps each day to
maintain a healthy lifestyle. If you've ever
tracked your steps, your device may be
tracking your "walking asymmetry".
2. This function ascertains how healthy your walk pattern is by checking for signs like uneven steps, differences in foot speed
etc. These signs can point to evidence of
injury, disease or other health issues.
3. In the same vein, there are signs that can provide insight into the health of your walk with God. In 2021, determine to have a healthy covenant walk with God. A covenant walk is not something to be taken lightly; a covenant implies a contract or agreement.

1. Hello, and welcome! It's episode 324 of #MrMrsBetterHalf. Mr and Mrs BetterHalf is designed to strengthen marriages, and relationships that will lead to marriage, with wisdom from God's word. Image
2. Today’s discussion is “To date or not to date: a guide.” Being in limbo about whether or not to date someone can be frustrating, especially if there is some attraction.
3. However, deciding this depends on what you call “dating” in the first place. What is the traditional definition of dating?
Dating is the process of being involved in a relationship where both parties are consciously looking out for compatibilities that may lead to marriage.

1. An anonymous writer once wrote, "I
believe very strongly that no human being
can live life to the fullest if they only run
from something. Instead, running towards
something makes things easier and
ensures that such a person lives a full life
and possibly dies empty".
2. On this journey of life, there will always be more: more to do; more to achieve; more to be better at; more to become but because the world itself is a blend of a lot of things, there will always be corrupt and less ideal ways of achieving even the most noble things.
3. That's why it pays to chase after God.
Chasing after God demands that you
remain steadfast in prayer and meditate
on God's leading within His word.
Be sensitive to His plans for you and
submit to them completely.

1. There is a story of a child who laughed
when her father threw her up in the air.
Seeing how happy the play made her, the
child's uncle tried to do the same.
Immediately, the child screamed and cried.
After comforting her, her father tossed her
into the air again.
2. Immediately, the child started laughing again. The difference was that the child knew her father and trusted him to catch her. Even children are instinctively discerning. The possibility of falling was not scary to her as long as her father was there to catch her.
3. Do you trust that God loves you, and will
catch you when you fall? God's plans are based on His genuine and unfailing love for you. God has not changed His mind about His love for you.

1. Gratitude Killers 101 (2)

Pessimism can hinder your productivity
just as being optimistic can yield favourable results. You cannot allow pride, bitterness or self-pity be your constant companion. #YETDevotional
2. You should see life in such a way that you can say there is room for more and with a little more effort, it will be full as you leanmore on the hand of God and the help of the Holy Spirit. Stop focusing on what is moving away
from you and rather focus on what is
coming to you.
3. A grateful heart doesn't focus on a closed door; else you may miss other open doors. #YETDevotional
