Let us run...!

Hebrews 12:1-2 NKJV

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, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

† Shalom †......! Day #168. Do you know that there's a race track of faith before you and you must run the race without any distraction? Let us pray. Father, let us focused onto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith as we run this race. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends,  we are surrounded by so great cloud of witnesses.  They are therr cheering for us to run the race till the end and win the prize 🏆. We are like in an arena, a stadium and surrounded by thousands of millions of people watching us and cheering for us. We are representing the faith we have in Jesus and running the race and we must not give up. It's like we are running a marathon, you run not walk. You run until the finishing line it doesn't matter what it takes. Likewise, our faith on God is like us running the marathon,  we haven't receive the winning prize but by faith we know that there's trophy waiting for us. We do not run blindly but we run with full of hope and faith in God. 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. A person who runs in a race will not be able to win the race if there weight and heavey laden tied on him. But, he or she can only win when his or her body is light. Likewise, let us remove the garment of sins and put on Christ as the Author and Finisher of out faith an run the race.

Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Our eyes must be fully focused to Jesus alone. Never be entangled with the worries of the world, sins and so on. But let us continue to be perfected in Christ Jesus as we run this race.  This race is a race of endurance and a race of perseverance of our faith. Therefore with this in mind, let us persevere and endure all hardships and run the race. An athlete they will train before they compete and when the day of  competition comes, they give their best to win. You see while they were training, they haven't receive the winning trophy,  but they determined in their hearts that they must win and the faith that they have produces endurance and perseverance to win the race. Let us therefore run with eyes focused on Jesus and win the race that's been set before us. God bless you.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
