Lessons from Meb Keflezighi's Marathon
Meb Keflezighi’s journey as an immigrant and his triumph at the 2014 Boston Marathon serve as a powerful illustration of perseverance and faith. Despite being considered past his prime and facing substantial doubt, Meb ran the race for both personal victory and as a tribute to the victims of the previous year's bombing. His unwavering prayer and determination to finish the race embody the essence of relying on God's strength rather than succumbing to internal and external critics. This story highlights the necessity of fostering an unshakable faith that encourages individuals to press on through their own challenges, much like Meb's experience.
