Week 6, Day 6

Finn reaches a point in our movie where he is now truly part of the Resistance. He is waking up to the unseen force. He has owned his past and is redeeming his future, and he’s now running toward what matters most.

So often, we lose perspective on what really matters. It’s not until we lose something like our marriage, a friend, our integrity, that what matters most becomes crystal clear. Finn now understands exactly what matters most, and he’s living out this lesson. The Resistance matters. The lives of people in the galaxy matter. Peace and justice matter. Rey matters, and so it’s time to Run Toward what Matters Most. That’s the final and life-changing decision and action.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.”

Hebrews 12:1

Therefore, let’s run toward faith, not away from it. Run toward goodness, not away from it. Run toward selflessness; run toward making your marriage work; run toward telling the truth; run toward forgiving others; run toward sobriety; run toward financial responsibility; run toward discipline, not away from it. Run toward helping others for good, not away from it. Be a force for the good God created you to do. From the beginning of God’s creation, He intended us to join Him in His good work. And though the world has been undone by sin and death, God is redeeming the world to Himself. And while we are here, we run toward the good we can do, not away from it.

Read Hebrews 10:25, Philippians 3:13-14, John 13:35, Colossians 3:12

-As you look at your life, what really matters to you? What is God calling you to run toward?
