Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, (Hebrews 12:1 )
We cannot dictate our life, it is His plans that fulfil in our lives. When things don't go our way we tend to get frustrated and lose our endurance for perseverance which ultimately affects our race. We loose our endurance when, we, like Peter(when he walked on sea), take our eyes off of Christ and start focusing on our own circumstances. In the preceding chapter we read about the faith and stories of men in the Old Testament who bore great testimony before God who are examples for us!!! Let us learn to lay aside all our weight, our burdens, concerns, worries and the sins that we are easily inclined to do and pursue Jesus.
Dear Lord, I give myself in your hands today. When I tend to loose heart help me Master to keep my focus on Christ instead of circumstances, by being reminded of the stories and the faith of whom God testifies and to preserve to run the race set by God!
