Run, Baby, Run

BIBLE MEDITATION:
Hebrews 12:1 - "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."

Hebrews 12:1 (New Living Translation) 

God’s Discipline Proves His Love

¹ Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
A soft-spoken woman went to a high school football game. She’d been quiet the entire game until there was a fumble on the field. The substitute quarterback, a little scrawny kid, picked up the ball and started running past the other players toward the goal. And this little lady exploded! She jumped up and said, “Run, baby, run! Run, baby, run!” He was her son. That’s what the saints are saying, as they watch us on the playing field of life. They are cheering us on from the Heavenly grandstand to “run with patience, the race that is set before us.”
ACTION POINT:
Do you need a lift today? Imagine a grandstand the size of heaven cheering you on to victory!
