are you running?

Last year in September I had the wonderful fortune of meeting Meg Brown Stead through HP.  She unfortunately lives across the globe and so I have not seen her since but trust me our friendship is a treasure for me.  Through her I virtually met her dad, John Brown, who is a great prophet and writes amazing little sermons right on facebook.  Today's sermon was too good not to post again!  And so I quote Pastor John Brown -

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up, It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle; when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.
Friends, if you are not seeking the Lord, the Devil is seeking you. In the Christian life, it's not enough simply to wake up. We are called to run, to become more like Christ, to press ahead in godliness. Run like you have never run before!! John Brown. GBYAY

So are you running?
