Are you running?
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2
Today I feel like I’m running in sand-actually, I’ve felt like that for a while now. Do you ever feel like you are doing your best and you are running with your shoelaces tied together? Let us throw off that which entangles us-focusing on the important rather than the urgent. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus-as a child learning to walk never breaks gaze with their parent. Let us seek to have endurance-realizing that each step is a renewal of our goal…each step is making us more like Jesus.
