Running With Endurance

RUNNING WITH ENDURANCE

Heb 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
NKJV

He is comparing our (Christian) life with athletes who are running a race on a track; the spectators are referred to here as the crowd of witnesses who were introduced in Hebrews 11; they are those who through faith walked with God and obtained a place in His kingdom. They are those who have run a similar race to the one you are running right now; they have lived in this world and have experienced similar things to what you are experiencing.

The race we are to run with endurance is our life here on earth under God.

The reason why God instructs you to run this race with endurance is because like every race, there is sometimes the tendency to want to give up and quit. You should know that it is a race and not a stroll so there is a price and this is why you should not quite.

Go into today determined to follow Jesus to the end because he truly rewards those who do so.

Prayer: thank you heavenly father for giving me the privilege of walking with you. I pray you help me walk worthy of my calling, in Jesus name I pray. Amen
