With Endurance Let’s Run the Race

Scripture Hebrews 12:1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

Observation: The Bible is full of witnesses that have run their race with endurance and finished well, along with those who haven’t. May I learn from both and lay aside anything that is not of God but be focused on his will for my life. May I always have the finish line in site, my eternal home with my Father and not be endured with the worries of this world.

Application: God gives me a day at a time and I need to spend it with Him. I need to know what the race entails for this day and be ready to run with faith keeping my heavenly home in my heart. Each decision must be made with God’s commands in mind waiting for the day this race is over and my life begins.

Prayer My Lord I’m ready to continue running. May I stretch out my faith that I won’t get lost on the track but honor you with the way I run today. May I learn from others and be guided by their success.
