Running the Race of Faith
Hebrews 12:1-3
The Christian life is often compared to a race in Scripture. It requires endurance, focus, and discipline. Just as an athlete trains rigorously for a competition, we too must prepare ourselves spiritually for the challenges we face.
Our passage today encourages us to "run with perseverance the race marked out for us." This race isn't always easy. There are hills and valleys, moments of suffering and struggle. But we don't run alone. We have a great cloud of witnesses cheering us on, and most importantly, we have Jesus as our example and source of strength.
Consider the race you're running right now. What "weights" might be slowing you down? How can you fix your eyes more firmly on Jesus today? Ask God for the strength to persevere, knowing that He is with you every step of the way.
