Jesus is the ultimate example of endurance. In our race, let’s commit his example to our mind as we run so that we do not grow weary.

Sometimes it feels as though we were born to experience trouble. The race is long. That finish line is barely a dot on the horizon but we must remember that something better and far more glorious is waiting for us, we just have to keep running.

At some point in the race, you will experience both times of weariness and waiting. It is vital to commit the word to your mind and heart daily so when these times of exhaustion threaten to count you out, the promise of God will strengthen you.

This race of life is hard, and sometimes it feels like all we do is weep as we run. Praise God in your weeping. Give thanks in all circumstances. Joy will come

When we become a Christian, we enter a fierce race. If we go into the race thinking we’ll never win, then we do not have faith in the promises of God.

Running the race is difficult, but the reward is indescribable. Just remember, you only get the prize if you keep going to the end. I encourage you to press on.

What emotions arise in your heart when it is time to go to the house of the Lord? Has it been reluctance, indifference or gladness?

Every day speaks a unique message, and every night declares knowledge to inhabitants of the earth about the eternal God, His glory, deity, sovereignty, power and love. Man may hear and see but may not understand. Not understanding will not change God’s plan!
