The writer of the book of Hebrews says our lives are like a
marathon race, and he encourages us to “run with endurance”
as we consider the example of Jesus:
Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses
surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and
the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with
endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on
Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set
before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has
sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider
Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself,
so that you will not grow weary and lose heart (Hebrews 12:1-3).
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus today! Through His grace and strength,
we will successfully fulfill our purpose in life.
Let’s pray together:
Lord Jesus, we fix our eyes on You today. Thank You for the
strength to run this race You have set before us. We lay aside
everything that would hinder us in fully pursuing Your plan for
our lives. Thank You for going before us, preparing the way for
us in this life and in eternity. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
God Bless You! |
