“… 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, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.”– HEBREWS 12:1-2
Do you desire to win the race? As believers and commissioned spiritual athletes, we need to daily assess our spiritual ability and embrace the disciplines that will strengthen our resolve to win His race. God is for us. He understands our daily struggles with the world and sin. When we faithfully fix our eyes on Jesus, He equips us to endure. He enables us to triumph. He empowers us to win.
Dear Heavenly Father and Lord, thank you for paying the price for my sin. Lord, help me to fix my eyes on you. Help me to “throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles” and to “run with perseverance the race marked out for us” – prioritizing your will and word in my daily life. Amen.
Go Deeper – In prayer, ask the Lord to help you identify any sin in your life that prevents or hinders your relationship with Him. Write it down. Then ask God to help you triumph and not become entangled by it anymore so you can run the race well.
