Run

Philippians 3:13-14 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. #Bible

Exactly, we can't do anything for ourselves or God on our own. It is all by and through Our Lord's Grace. Jesus allows us the privilege to run to Him.
Why would we want to look back at what lies behind, our failures and sins? No, we strain, we struggle, we strive forward to the completion of our Salvation. That's each one of our goals, better yet, its our real life, our Prize.
Yes it is an up hill struggle, we are running away from hell. I bet if we could see through God's eyes, we would be shocked at how close we were at times to hell, and our Lord was saving us then.
But now, we can hear that upward call of God in Christ Jesus, and there is only one direction in this world, and that is towards the Messiah Jesus. The time is shorter than when we first believed for Jesus to return, so keep walking close to God, run if you have to.

Good

Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. #Bible

This verse raises a question, is the good all things work together for, for us or God?
If we understand that regardless of what we think, it is God who is the orchestrator, or conductor. We basically are along for the ride. Sure we have our service to perform. We are Christians predestined, and invited into the family of God, and have a purpose for being in this state of existence.
The good here is our comforter the Holy Spirit who assists us in carrying out our service to God the Father. We sinners saved by Grace can't serve God on our own, the Holy Spirit is our success and our sustenance through our trials, persecutions, and tribulations. That is why it is stated in scripture that we are more than conquers in Christ Jesus our Sheppard. So serve fearlessly, in the Joy of the Lord.
