“…let us run with perseverance the race
marked out for us.” Hebrews 12:1 NIV
The
race of life requires determination and perseverance. In a general sense, Christians
are all running a race that witnesses to the Good News of Jesus but I think
each individual’s race is distinct in its direction and rough patches. The
writer of Hebrews recognizes that there may be exhausting hills to climb or
muddy roads to slog through or frightening white- water streams to navigate. He
encourages to keep our eyes on God and to keep going, trusting in His
provision.
When I feel weary or anxious, the race
seems too hard and I long to just curl up and escape the demands of life. I pray
that God will lead me through each day
stride by stride, helping me do what I can. We don’t have to be the strongest in
the race, we just need to stay in it.
