Hebrews 12:1-3 (Contemporary English Version) Such a large crowd of witnesses is all around us! So we must get rid of everything that slows us down, especially the sin that just won't let go. And we must be determined to run the race that is ahead of us. We must keep our eyes on Jesus, who leads us and makes our faith complete. He endured the shame of being nailed to a cross, because he knew that later on he would be glad he did. Now he is seated at the right side of God's throne! So keep your mind on Jesus, who put up with many insults from sinners. Then you won't get discouraged and give up.
In this race you may not see the end but when you get close satan will combat you harder. You are close to victory, so do not give up, the victory is at hand. Today is not the day you should give up, you must not give in.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Strengthen us for this race, help us to be focused on You, may we bring You glory and honor. Lord, we praise You for the victory we have in You. You are awesome and worthy of our praise. We ask these things in Jesus name, amen.
Love and God Bless,
Cindy Irwin
