I was reading in my early morning time about when Saul was first chosen to be anointed as King.
1 Samuel 9:2 (NLT) His son Saul was the most handsome man in Israel—head and shoulders taller than anyone else in the land.
If you have been around for any amount of time you know that Sauls demise from King to having the kingdom ripped from him was quite a tragic affair. Here is a young man that the bible says was "a stand out Christian". I have known many people over the years that have "stood out" either with their passion or abilities, their knowledge or just their availability but somewhere in the race they tripped and at this point have fallen out of the race. Its a challenge to all of us that may "stand out" with natural ability, that to last long term we must have an inner strength that may not be evident and may not seem like its eye catching, but to finish the race, its vital. Remember "You cant give what you dont have". Lets go the distance!!
