“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”
2 Timothy 4:7-8

Well, here we are! At the FINAL 100MileMonday post for the 6th Annual Spring100 Challenge. Praise God for bringing us to this place!! For those who just have a few miles left, you can still finish strong. Miles walked by Tuesday, June 21st at 11:59 pm (cst) count toward your 100-mile goal!! As we finish out this challenge, I am reminded of Paul’s powerful words to Timothy as he was nearing the end of his spiritual race. He said, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith”. We may be at the end of this physical 93-day walking challenge but our spiritual race continues on. May we strive to KEEP THE FAITH and fight the good fight, finishing strong by the grace of God and His strength! I am praying for you all.

Your encouragement and participation in this challenge have been a tremendous blessing. I truly thank the Lord for you!

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:1-2

^“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

PLEASE READ: Here we are! Week 12 of the 2022 Spring100 is complete. WAY TO GO! This week I want to take a break from our normal Spring100 photo sharing and share something extremely important. This post will be a bit different so photos sent in for week 12 will be posted in our 100MileMonday week 13 post! Thank you. 💯🙌🏻

As this year’s challenge consists of a LARGE GROUP of walkers from around the world, I do not know each of you individually but I care deeply for the soul of every single person participating in this challenge. With such a large group, I am reminded that there are very likely Spring100er participants out there who are not saved by the shed blood of Jesus Christ and are dead in trespasses and sin, headed toward hell. This breaks my heart! For those reading this who are not born again Christians, there is good news! “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8! Salvation is freely offered to all who call upon the name of the Lord. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13! We are told in Acts 3:19 to “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out…” So, today, I want to ask you… are you saved? “For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” 2 Corinthians 6:2. Please take time to read the below. For those who have been saved by the shed blood of Jesus Christ, we have a job to do! Jesus Christ commanded us to “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15. As we run the race of life, let’s be the salt and light we are called to be in a dark and dying world, giving a reason for the hope that lies within(1 Peter 3:15)! May we each enter into another week of this Spring100 challenge taking these truths to heart. 💯

The Gospel

By Ray Comfort Living Waters Ministry

Four Things You Need to Know About God

1. GOD IS HOLY AND JUST

“Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; mercy and truth go before Your face.” (Psalm 89:14)

In civil law, a good judge must punish crime. If he turns a blind eye to injustice, then he is corrupt and he himself should be punished.

In one ten-year period in the United States, 100,000 murderers were never brought to justice. These were unsolved crimes. If God turns a blind eye to those murderers, then He is corrupt by nature. It makes sense that if He is good and just, He should be angry with those who have taken the lives of others, and He should punish murderers, rapists, etc. This is the teaching of the Bible—that God will “by no means clear the guilty.” He “will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil.” “God is angry with the wicked every day.”

2. HIS WORD SAYS “THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH”

“Sin is transgression of the Law.” (1 John 3:4)

Let’s look briefly at the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20), and see if we have kept God’s Law:

1. You shall have no other gods before Me
2. You shall not make yourself a graven image
3. You shall not take God’s name in vain
4. Remember the Sabbath, to keep it holy
5. Honor your father and mother
6. You shall not murder
7. You shall not commit adultery
8. You shall not steal
9. You shall not lie
10. You shall not covet

Before we say we have obeyed the Commandments, this is what someone would be like if he kept the Law—he would always love God with all his heart, with all his soul, with all his strength, and with all his mind, and love his neighbor as much as he has loved himself. He has never made a god to suit himself (either with his hands or in his mind).

He has always given God’s name reverence, kept the Sabbath holy, honored his parents implicitly, and never once has he been “angry with his brother without a cause.” He has never hated anyone or had lust in his heart. He has never stolen even a paper clip or ballpoint pen, or told as much as a “white” lie, and not once desired anything that belongs to someone else. He is, and always has been “pure in heart,” perfect in thought, word, and deed.

The truth is, we are not like that. We have all “sinned” many times, and therefore we have stored up God’s wrath, which will be revealed on Judgment Day. The proof that we have sinned will be our death, and after death we must face God in judgment.

Think of it—if He has seen our every thought, word, and deed, and if He is going to bring all of our sins out as evidence of our guilt on the Day of Judgment, we will all be found to be guilty. Our conscience has shown us right from wrong; we will be without excuse. God will give us justice, and Hell will be the place of our eternal punishment. “For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.”

3. GOD IS RICH IN MERCY TO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM

“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us…” (Ephesians 2:4)

A youth once borrowed a fast car, and in a drunken stupor, sped through his hometown at 120 m.p.h. Since everything was horse-drawn in his country town, there were no laws against speeding. So the council passed a law saying that 30 m.p.h. was the maximum speed, and that any transgressors would be fined $100 for every m.p.h. over the speed limit.

On his way back through the town, the speedster decided to pull the same prank. He was apprehended, tried, and found guilty by his father, who was the town’s only judge. He was fined $9,000, and because he had no money and no words of defense, the youth was led off to prison. As he sat in despair behind bars, his father appeared at the door, and told him that he had sold all his own prized possessions and paid the fine for him. The son couldn’t believe that he loved him that much. They embraced as they never had before, and walked off in a new-found relationship, bonded together with love.

That’s a picture of what God did for us through the gospel

We have all broken God’s Law a multitude of times, but God came to this earth in the person of Jesus Christ, and paid the fine—”For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” The Bible says, “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Jesus satisfied eternal justice, and then rose from the dead, defeating death. Hundreds saw Him after His resurrection; it’s no fairy tale. Jesus fulfilled all the prophecies about the promised Savior, written in the Holy Scriptures hundreds of years before His birth. But just as we cannot earn a gift, so we cannot earn eternal life by our good works—”For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”

4. GOD OFFERS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

“He who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.” (John 5:24)

Life’s greatest mystery, death, was destroyed by the One who said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life…” The Bible says, “He who has the Son has life…”

To find the way to God, to understand the truth of God’s Word, and to receive the gift of eternal life, begin by repentance and faith through a prayer like this: “Dear God, I understand that I have broken Your Law and sinned against You. Please forgive my sins. Thank you that Jesus suffered and died on the cross in my place and rose again. I now place my trust in Him as my Savior and Lord. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”

If you have repented and trusted in Jesus, then your sins are forgiven and you can now partake in the blessings of “the New Covenant.” Here are just ten of God’s exceedingly great and precious promises:

1. You have passed from death into life (Jn. 5:24).
2. God will supply all of your needs according to His riches (Phil. 4:19).
3. Jesus will be with you in trials, promising never to leave nor forsake you (Heb. 13:5).
4. The Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth, and give you the power to live a holy life (Jn. 16:13).
5. You are cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ—God has removed your sins as far as the East is from the West (Ps. 103:12).
6. As you abide in Christ, you will see the “fruit” of His Spirit begin to manifest in your life (Gal. 5:22-25).
7. As you read the Bible daily, it will come alive to you and cause you to grow in your faith (1 Pet. 2:1-3).
8. When you pray, God will hear you and answer your prayers (1 Jn. 5:15).
9. The cross will be continual evidence of God’s love for you (Rom. 5:8).
10. God “is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy” (Jude 1:24).

Search the Scriptures daily, and see what God has in store for those that love Him. Honor Christ’s command to be baptized, and find yourself a Jesus-centered, Bible-teaching church and commit yourself to it.

May God continue to bless you as you obey Him. Ray Comfort Living Waters Ministry

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:1-2

“No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.”
2 Timothy 2:4-5

I love meditating on the above verse from 2 Timothy 2 whenever I decide to go out for a run! I often think about this verse right alongside our Spring100 Theme verse where we are told to “lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily ensnares us”! To be entangled or ensnared means to be trapped or caught up in something that will hinder movement. The word WEIGHT mentioned in Hebrews 12:1 means “a burden or something so heavy and cumbersome that it impedes a runner from running his race as he should.” So just like you wouldn’t run a marathon with a backpack full of cumbersome bricks or ropes tied around your legs that will trip you up, you don’t want run the spiritual race with spiritual bricks that will weigh you down and keep you from running to your fullest. We are commanded to lay aside or THROW OFF these weights and sin and in God’s strenth +by His grace, we can do just that. 🙌🏻 “ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13. With these verses on my mind this week, how about a fun CHALLANGE? 😃 Here is the challenge for week 10 of Spring100:

CHALLENGE- This week make it your goal to walk a mile with a little extra weight just to get the feel of what that extra spiritual weight feels like and what a relief it is to finally take it off and walk unencumbered. 💁🏼‍♀️Whether it be hand weights, extra-large canned veggies, a weighted back-pack, sibling riding piggyback, or maybe just your baby on your front-pack! Get creative and snap a picture of how you did the weight challenge and send it in for next week’s post letting us know how it went for you!

I am looking forward to seeing how creative you all get. Soooooo, are you ready to tackle week 10 of the Spring100? LET’S DO IT!!!!! 🙌🏻💯

Please note: this is only a suggested challenge and is not required. Please do not attempt this challenge if you are dealing with any health issues or do not feel physically qualified to try. Join at your own discretion! Thank you.

QUESTION: With just about 1 month left in this challenge, what is the most helpful tip you can give a Spring100er who is behind on their miles?? Please comment below and let us know!

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:1-2

“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?”
Micah 6:8

Well, congratulations to each one of you! 🙌🏻 We have officially made it past the halfway mark for this Spring100 and I’m beginning to see that finish line ahead!! 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️ How was has the past week of walking/running gone for you?? Keep your eyes set on the prize. 🥇 We are so very close! This week, as we set out to grab our week 9 Spring100 miles and serve the Lord in every area of life, let’s take Micah 6:8 with us! If you haven’t memorized this verse from God’s Word, I urge you to do so. Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly… WALK HUMBLY with thy God! The command to walk humbly always takes my mind to James 4:6 where we are told “But He giveth more grace. Wherefore He saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.” and then a few verses later James says, “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up.” I don’t know about you, but I desire that “more grace” that the Lord God gives to the humble. As I walk my miles this week, I am praying that I would be “clothed in humility” and that I would walk humbly with the Lord my God. “Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.” 1 Peter 5:5. May we seek to Do Justly, Love Mercy, and Walk Humbly for week 9 of the 2022 Spring100… HAPPY WALKING Y’ALL! 🙋🏼‍♀️💯

QUESTION: I would love to hear what scripture has most encouraged you the first half of Spring100? What verse has been on your mind as you set out to daily tackle your miles and make your way to the 100+ mile goal?

I know the Lord made it possible for me to have children and be a Mom like my Mom was.  One of  my greatest joys was to read to the kids or have them read to me.  My Mom instilled in us a love of reading and when she read out loud to us, she made the book come alive for me.

“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.”
James 1:2-4

Here we are just a few days away from the Half-Way mark for the 2022 Spring100!🙌🏻💯 I was thinking of all those in this challenge that have faced diverse trials which have slowed them down and threatened to keep them from the 100-mile goal! Torn tendons, broken legs, unexpected changes in work and school schedules, bad weather, and the list goes on. As I think of these trials faced in the walking challenge, I am reminded of the trials we face in the race of life! They can threaten to derail us BUT how thankful I am that we are promised patience will be worked in us through the trials we face that we “may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing”. We are told to “count it all joy”(James 1) and GLORY in these trials “knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed…” (Romans 5:3-5).As we pass the Half-way mark of this 93 day challenge, each of us already has or will be faced with Spring100 setbacks. When these setbacks come your way, DON’T GIVE UP and don’t get discouraged. Keep on persevering and pressing forward, finding your strength in the Lord! So, who is ready to finish Spring100 strong? LET’S GO!!!!

QUESTION: Have you faced any trials/challenges/obsticles that you’ve had to overcome this Spring100 to keep on track and get your miles in?

“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.”
2 Corinthians 12:9-10

As I enjoyed my Spring100 walks this week, I was thinking about our Spring100 Theme verse and the “great a cloud of witnesses” that have gone before us. Men and women “who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.” Hebrews 11:33-34. I don’t know about you but the testimonies of our brothers and sisters in Christ who have finished the race set before them always encourage me onward and upward! They did not run well and finish in their own strength but were made strong in weakness as they depended on the Lord’s grace every step of the way. If you are ready to give up on the Spring100 or finding you are weary in this race of life, don’t quit!! Remember 2 Corinthians 12:9 and the promise of grace sufficient for every single day as it says “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” As we enter this new week of walking and spiritually running with endurance, let’s recall the great cloud of witness and the grace of God which enabled each one of them to finish the race well! Ready to conquer week 7… LET’S GO!!!!! 🙌🏻💯🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏽‍♂️

QUESTION: I know this has been asked in previous years but with so many new Spring100ers I have to ask again… As we consider the Men and Women of faith and that great cloud of witnesses, whose testimony throughout history has blessed and encouraged you in seasons of weariness? I’d love to hear in the comment box below!!👇🏼👇🏼

Spring100 Feature Photographer: Halbach Family

“Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.”
Psalm 20:7-8

As mentioned above, we are nearing 1 full month of this walking challenge!! That is 30 days of the 94-day challenge. PRAISE THE LORD, what a great achievement! It is said that 64% of people quit a resolution within the first month of starting. Let’s prove the world’s statistics wrong by going forward in the strength of the Lord and finishing this 2022 Spring100 strong!! Remember, if you are behind, catching up is not hard. Add an extra mile to your daily routine and get back on track and make your way to the finish line. By the grace of God… you can do it!!!!! Ready, set, LET’S GO!!!!!!👏🏼🙌🏻💯

QUESTION: As we near the 1-month mark, are you right on track, “ahead of schedule”, or falling a bit behind when it comes to grabbing your Spring100 miles?? I would love to hear and have everyone encourage each other forward in the comments for a new week of Spring100!

“See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”
Ephesians 5:15-16

I am so excited to see everyone entering week 4 of the Spring100 challenge with so much energy and enthusiasm!! 🙌🏻 WAY TO GO!!! How was week 3 for you?? This past week I was reminded how important it is to redeem the time. We are told in Ephesians 5 to walk circumspectly(with watchfulness every way), redeeming the time for the days are evil! Did you know that every mile you walk for Spring100 can be more than just a time to walk and keep physically fit? It is true!! Your time spent walking the Spring100 can be a time you dedicate to praying, listening to scripture, or audio sermons. It can be a time you use to memorize and recite Scripture! Your spring100 miles can be a time to invest in relationships by walking with a family member or friend, enjoying edifying conversation, and seeking to encourage them in the Lord. I want to encourage you as we enter week 4 and you head out to grab your miles to be intentional about redeeming the time. Make your walks/runs more than just grabbing your miles… make them edifying and spiritually uplifting! Ready? Let’s do it! 🙌🏻🎉🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏽‍♂️

QUESTION: How do you spend your time during your Spring100 walks? Listening to audio? Enjoying a good conversation with friends or family? Or perhaps dodging puddles and avoiding the neighborhood dogs… or if you live in the country watching out for the cows😉🐮?

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
Phil 4:13

“The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise Him.”
Psalm 28:7

How was week 9 of the Spring100 for you all??? If my calculations are correct, we have only 33 days left in this challenge! The end is in sight and so many are there waiting to see us cross the finish line! As I go through Hebrews 12 each week, I am reminded of verse 1 where it says “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses”. These witnesses are men and women who have finished the race, who have run with endurance, and left a lasting testimony! These witnesses are not those who have witnessed their own faithfulness or strength in running BUT God’s faithfulness and strength working through them. 1 Corinthians 1:27 puts it so beautifully, “…God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty”. Whether it be Corrie Ten Boom, Eric Liddell, the Apostle Paul, Daniel, King David, Abraham, or Abel- their testimony points us to God’s faithfulness in their lives and HIS strength made perfect in weakness[2 Cor 12:8-10]! I love these verses from Hebrews 11 where it says, “And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions. Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong….”(Heb 11:32-34) As we look to these men and women, we are pointed to the grace and strength of our Lord and Savior. 🙂 By His grace, they fought the good fight, they conquered, they finished the race, and they kept the faith[2 Timothy 4:7-8]!! So, are you ready to conquer week 10 of the Spring100 and the race of life? “I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.” Ps 71:16!! Let’s press forward in the strength & grace of the Lord!

Week 9 QUESTIONS:

1.) If you could walk a mile with any past Christian in history, who would it be and why?? Don’t leave without answering below. Can’t wait to see who y’all choose!!

2.) If you are following along with the Spring100 Reading Plan, we’ve made our way through Ephesians and most of Philippians! I would love to hear which chapter and verses encouraged your heart this week!!

ARE YOU BEHIND?? You still have time to catch up! Even if you haven’t started walking your first Spring100 mile yet, you can still easily reach the 100 Mile goal by June 20th!! If you still have all 100 miles to walk, an easy 3.1 miles each day will get you to the finish line on time. Break your walks up into 2 different walks daily to make it a doable and easy challenge!

This Week’s Spring100 Scripture Reading Plan-MAY 17th through May 23rd:

• Monday: Philippians 3-4
•Tuesday: 1 Thessalonians 1
•Wednesday: 1 Thessalonians 2
•Thursday: 1 Thessalonians 3
•Friday: 1 Thessalonians 4
•Saturday: 1 Thessalonians 5
•Sunday: 2 Thessalonians 1

💁🏼‍♀️As always, these posts are made possible and fabulous by YOU!! Your photo submissions and comments make these posts fun and my job of putting them together super easy. Thank you!

Ephesians 5:15-16

How did week 2 go for you all?? 😃 Registration for the 2021 Spring100 has officially closed and I am amazed at the number of participants we have this year. Love seeing all the international walkers that have joined! From the USA to South Africa to Estonia, Mexico, Switzerland, Turkey, France, Romania, and I could go on… PHEW!😍 May the Lord be glorified through this Challenge! That is my prayer. 🙏🏼 As we enter week 3, I want to take this time to remind each of you to redeem each Spring100 walk!! It is very easy to let that mile pass without much thought, isn’t it?! To get into a monotonous routine, allowing miles to go by scrolling through your phone or thinking on completely random “nothingness”. We are told in 1 Timothy 4:8, “For bodily exercise profiteth little: but GODLINESS is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.” Life that is now and that which is to come…. WOW! Here at the Spring100, we believe a mile is not just a mile but it’s time that can be greatly redeemed! A Spring100 mile can be used to meditate on scripture, pray, bring family members together for a common goal, encourage others, and so on. Families have mentioned these walks are a great time for family fellowship, catching up after a busy day, or brush up on their Scripture memorization together. How wonderful is that?! And even a mile spent soaking up God’s creation and resetting our minds to mentally prepare for the tasks that lay ahead is a mile well-walked! So, a mile isn’t just a mile…. The time spent enjoying physical exercise can be so much more. Put your Smart Phone away🤳🏻, look up, redeem the time, and make each Spring100 mile count both here on earth and for all eternity… Now, go conquer week 3 in the strength of the Lord! 🙋🏼‍♀️💯
