Three legged race

An anology I thought about last night. Thought I write here it quickly.

A three legged race is a race whereby two contestant have one of their feet tied together, hence 'three-legged.

Our journey with God is like a three legged race. (it's only a anology, not fact k?) One of our feet is tied to the holy spirit (he is a person, afterall...). So it takes both of us to run the race of life.

Some people just 'depend on God'. They pray and they pray. They go for prayer meets and other meets. They study the bible dillengently and wonders, 'hmmm nothing's happening, why?' Then more question props up,' is this the right time? has God called me?' Hence more time in prayer meets...etc etc

Others believe in a 'do-it-yourself', IKEA style. These movers shake the world on their own accord. Sometimes, (or most of the time), they missed the purpose that God had intended for them. So after all those energy spent, they end up 'missing God'.

I find that it's a three legged race. It's a team game. It doesn't work if one party moves without the other. I realised that's why i need to move and pray as much so that the movements are in sync. Of course, the faster the movements are sync, the fast we move. (It's like a resonant frequency which peaks to unbelievable heights.... like erm, walking on water?)

Three legged race. Team Game. Me and Him
The HS is my leader, coz innately, he runs faster than I do.

A good analogy. Never thought of it that way. Now when I hear or see a three-legged race, will remember I'm running with HS.
