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. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:1-2).
When we are frustrated with things in life think of the race we are in. If we get tripped upon the shoes of another runner, or upon our own shoelace and fall down mid-race, we still have a choice: to give up the race OR to call on our Lord and get back in the race!! When we fall Remember these cloud of witnesses that encourages us in faith, can you picturize them cheering on us!!! If we ever fall let us get back up and chose to run again by asking the Lord for His grace and strength to finish the race!! Apostle Paul says : But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13,14) Regardless of what face today, let us run to win the race!! And when we fall; let us not quit or point fingers or be a loser instead GET back up and run again… in His mercy, strength and love!!
