2Corinthians3:4-5
"Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God. Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God."
2Timothy4:7
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."

Has it ever occurred to you how confident we can be of our everyday life?
No matter how the world around us threatens to collapse or in some cases, seems to have already collapsed, we can hold on to our faith.
God is capable of anything and everything, having created whatever there is.
Our competence is given by Him
And He gives us competence to meet the challenges we face
He allows it because He knows we can handle it

Along this race, He gives us everything we need
We only need to do two things: obey and keep the faith
Many run the race and finish it well but what matters is when you keep the faith
Without the faith, you might be growing mentally and in terms of assets
But spiritually, you'd be dying away
Everyone goes through this
At the point of your life when you just feel like giving up
Remember that God had faith in you
He's saying that no matter what the race course is like, you are ready to run this race
