Hebrews 12:1-2 – 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, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.

The writer of this text uses the illustration of a race to explain how Christians are to live their lives. Like runners in a race, we should never give up and quit, but daily make a commitment to faithfully follow Christ.

This Christian race is no ordinary race for it is the most serious competition we will ever enter in in our lifetime. This race determines whether we live or die, whether we spend eternity with God or apart from God, therefore, regardless of the struggle we must run and we must run with the mindset to win.

The world runs for a corruptible crown, but we as believers run for the incorruptible crown of righteousness that God will give to all that believe at the end of their race.

We all have a race to run! Remember, "stay in the race"! Keep running, keep serving and praising God, keep loving your enemy and those that spitefully use you.

God bless and tell the Lord thank you for giving us the strength to run this Christian race with patience.

God bless.
