The Runners
Six People from the Old Testament Who Ran
Hagar, Moses, and David fled. Jacob was told to flee. Elijah and Jonah ran. Each had their reasons, and their stories are brimming with lessons that can guide us in running the race God has uniquely designed for us. Through the Bible’s inspired accounts, Paula Kolstad shares a glimpse of the struggles and choices, written not with exhaustive detail but with relatable circumstances that resonate with our own lives. This study will explore the events that led to their flight, the decisions they made, and the lessons God has woven into their journeys. These inspired stories combined with the reader’s own reflections will lead to points of application so each one can live out their faith boldly: to run their race in such a way as to get the prize.
