Endurance, The Key To Running The Race Of Life

"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" - Hebrews 12:1

EXPLORATION

The Olympics is the world's greatest sports competition. Where all the world problems are set aside and joy, anticipation of success, filled with Glory is the focus of everyone. And eyes of the world are always on the athletes at the world's greatest sports competition, the Olympics, where the victory is not in winning a medal but in just being there and competing—hence, everyone there had to be the best just to be selected to compete.

INSPIRATION

The same is what the scripture says about us and says to us. God selected us to "run with endurance the race that is set before us". Understand the word "endurance". God wants us to keep on regardless of the opposition we experience.

The "race" likewise is good for our daily lives. A runner cannot win if they don't stay focused on finishing. They can't win if they are busy watching the other runners to see how they are doing. But we, as Christians, often take time looking at others to see how they are doing compared to ourselves. Ironically, the only way to really see what everyone else is doing is to be dead last in the race and if we spend time evaluating how others are doing, that is how we will finish our race.

Our qualification to compete was made possible by God's Grace and, like athletes; we must train every day to build up our strength to run the race set before us. The best athletes don't get that way by just being a little better than the others. They don't even pay attention to how the others are doing, but they do constantly strive to improve THEIR OWN performance.

How should we finish? Here's what the Bible says:

"But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God." - Acts 20:24

This week: The Grace, the Anointing, and the Ability to Soar high in the realm of the immeasurable Blessings of GOD—is given unto you to manifest and dwell in. Now as you remain focused on Christ Jesus who gave the Grace and the Power to finish the race of Life, reach Higher! Soar High! There are so much Room, so much Space, and Terrain to dwell! Hence, too many people dwell below—but fewer dwell above—in the level where Kings, Wealthy, Nobles, and the Honored dwell.

Remember the LORD has commanded His Blessings over you saying, "And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God…" - Deuteronomy 28:13

You are blessed, we love you!
