SEASON THEME: NOW IS THE TIME    SEASON TEXT: II Corinthians 6:2 

THEME OF THE WEEK:  NOW IS THE TIME  to... FINISH STRONG
Text: II Cor. 6:2 / Read V. 1-10   "For he saith I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: Behold now is the accepted time; behold now is the day of salvation."    

  Our theme this year was NOW IS THE TIME. We have raced hard after our ultimate goals and accomplished so much. Now we reach State Finals week and it is time to Finish Strong what we started way back on August 11. For some it even began the day last season ended and for seniors it began 4 years ago when they first decided to give this whole XC thing a shot.

   Each week this year was a new time, in the middle of the time of the 2024 XC season. A time which is in the middle of the race of our life time, that our God has perfectly set out before us. Nothing confronts our creatureliness quite like our running watches that keep time and track our running times. Now think about this. The God who is outside of time, created time so that we might live each & every moment that He gives us here on this earth for His glory. As Christian runners in life & in XC this year we wanted to emphasize the urgency in this and not to put opportunities to do this off. Times to be a Great Teammate. Times to Get the Very Most out of Everyday. Times to be Good Leaders. Times to be Disciplined, Commited, & Consistent. Times to be Mentally Tough. Times to Believe & to be Fearless. Times to Embrace the Journey & Trust the Process. Times to Just Go and Get it Done. Times to be Thankful & Content, and Times to Make Promises.

   In verse 1 of our theme text this year it shared with us this amazing thought. Our God by His spirit, grace, & goodness desires that His people in time be co-workers together with Him for our good, the good of His church, the spread of the gospel of Jesus, and for the glory of His name. If we don't then we recieve the grace of God in vain! WOW!! Our God who doesn't need us for anything was pleased to work right along side us and with us in these things during our life time. Then in our verse 2 He gives the Corinthians and us a sense of urgency. Paul is really simply asking this question. When would be a good time to start doing this? And the answer given is, RIGHT NOW is the time! Don't put it off! Use your time wisely! Don't waste an opportunity! Our life time here on earth will not last forever, so don't be self-focused and consumed with the ease, comforts, & pleasures of this life. In our Lord's strength, it's time to get busy working together with Him right now and all the way to the finish!

    So as Christians and as a XC team this week may that also be our focus and encouragement. Let's strive with all our might to do that today as we finish our season strong at the Finals, but also for the rest of our life time here on this earth. One more time we say, NOW IS THE TIME! Let's FINISH STRONG!!!!!
