Spiritual GrowthRunning with Endurance
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,
The Christian life is a marathon requiring us to shed hindrances and fix our eyes on Jesus.
Surrounded by witnesses who have run the race before us, we are called to lay aside every weight and sin that slows us down. This requires intentional discipline—identifying what hinders our progress and courageously removing it. The race is not a sprint but a marathon requiring endurance. We run not in our own strength but by keeping our focus on Christ.
For Today
Identify one weight or sin that slows your spiritual progress and take a concrete step today to lay it aside.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, help me run with endurance the race set before me. Give me courage to lay aside every hindrance and keep my eyes fixed on You. Amen.
