Positioned for purpose: Hebrew 12: 1-2
Now, when you are running a race wether it is a sprint race or long distance race you will hear the starter give two commands: the first one is; on your marks” to instruct athletes to get ready in order to start race, followed by “set” to advise the athletes that the start of the race is imminent. Over the past two weeks we have been getting ready to fulfill God’s purpose in our lives and just like the athlete in the set position so are we in a set position to fulfill God’s purpose. Now, how does God put us in a set position?
