My prayer for you for today is that you will keep your
eyes on Jesus as you endure the race of life, in Jesus name.
Hebrews
12:1-2
Therefore,
since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith,
let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so
easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before
us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates
and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting Him, He endured the cross,
disregarding its shame. Now He is seated in the place of honour beside God's
throne.
Endure - And let us
run with endurance the race God has set before us. Every athlete trains
with passion and motivation to become a champion in their events. Their bodies
are conditioned and toned to deliver excellence and even their attire is streamlined
to make them more agile with less and less resistance. When we run the race of
life it is so important that we do the same as an athlete. We must train with
passion and motivation in our spirits and read the word and spend time in
prayer. We must make sure that we do not carry extra weight, especially sin
that can so easily trip us. Every athlete has a role model, someone that they
look up to and who inspires them. In our race we should keep our eyes on Jesus,
our champion. He must be our focus point, our inspiration. He went through
temptation, humiliation, pain and finally death to rise from it and defeat it
for us, so that we can follow in His footsteps and finally be like Him, to be a
champion like Jesus.
My dear friend lets warm up and put on our running shoes.
Let’s look at our champion and follow His example and run with endurance. Don’t
be discouraged if you do not succeed at first, but instead stand up again and
try again. Just like Jesus carried His cross and when He fell, He stood up
again, you should get up again when you fall or fail. Finally when He could no
longer carry the cross alone, Simon helped Him. In the same way Jesus was
helped, He stands beside you every step of the way ready to lift you up when
you fall. Keep your eyes on Him and ask Him to help you. I pray that you will
rise above all that holds you back so that you will become a champion of life,
a hero to those you meet and to those that work with you, live with you and
knows you.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
