Time is at hand. The race must be won! Determine today that distractions, you’ll shun. At the starting block, at the sounding of the gun, lean forward and enter into the race again, this time with the utmost determination to win. Keep your gaze steady on Christ, and those from the grandstands of heaven will cheer you on to the prize. Let us not look back anymore, but continue to run, for the crown of life he holds in his hand, he’s wanting to pass it out to those whose presence you grace as you pick up momentum and run your race.
Hebrews 12:1-3 King James Version (KJV)
12 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,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
