Running for a Purpose
Again, there are some runners in the heavenly race who cannot win because they
carry too much weight. A light weight, of course, has the advantage. There are some
people who have an immensely heavy weight to carry. "How hardly shall a rich man
enter into the kingdom of heaven!" What is the reason? Because he carries so much
weight; he has so much of the cares and pleasures of this world; he has such a
burden that he is not likely to win, unless God should please to give him a mighty
mass of strength to enable him to bear it. We find many men willing to be saved, as
they say; they receive the Word with great joy, but by-and-bye thorns spring up and
choke the Word. They have so much business to do; they say they must live; they
forget they must die. They have such a deal to attend to, they cannot think of living
near to Christ. They find they have little time for devotions; morning prayer must be
cut short, because their business begins early; they can have no prayer at night,
because business keeps them so late. How can they be expected to think of the
things of God? They have so much to do to answer this question — "What shall I
eat? what shall I drink? and wherewithal shall I be clothed?" It is true they read in the
Bible that their Father who is in heaven will take care of them in these things if they
will trust Him. But they say, "Not so."
