This week's Scripture/Commentary

Biblical Training: The race is not to the swift.

Ecclesiastes 9:11 I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.

Proverbs 16:33 The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.

Commentary: We do not control our lot in life, or sometimes in a race. Within time and chance we are given choices. In the end, it's our response to God that matters.
