Sanctified Dissatisfaction

vs 12 - Too many time we become satisfied

we settle. - we choose to walk when we are supposed to be running

What get’s in the rut?

Self Satisfied

Comparison game

Compare to others - Paul had every right to be proud

We should compare with our selves and Jesus

Matthew 5:48 CSB

Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Self Satisfied

Self evaluation

Make ourselves better - rich young ruler

Make ourselves worse -

2 Corinthians 5:21 CSB

He made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Divine Dissatisfaction

vs 13 - forget the past - don’t rely on what you have done

move forward

1 Corinthians 13:11 CSB

When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put aside childish things.

Divine Dissatisfaction

vs 14 - keep running - pursue the goal

- our prize is eternal

1 Corinthians 9:25 CSB

Now everyone who competes exercises self-control in everything. They do it to receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable crown.

Divine Dissatisfaction

never settle - stay hungry and thirsty

never stop learning and growing

Psalm 42:1–2 CSB

As a deer longs for flowing streams, so I long for you, God. I thirst for God, the living God. When can I come and appear before God?

We’re Supposed To Run

never meant to walk or stay still

"Beginning well is a momentary thing; finishing well is a lifelong thing."

- Ravi Zacharias
