When God calls: 5 ways to run your race well

1. Follow God’s call with humble faith and obedience (1 Kings 19:19-21).
2. Trust God to equip you for whatever call He gives you (2 Kings 2).
3. Seek greatness by doing only that which He calls you to — no more and no less (2 Kings 5).
4. Aim for self-sacrificing love, not impact (2 Kings 5).
5. When you’re afraid, remember nothing is too big or too small for God (2 Kings 6).

2Kings 6:16 He said, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
