Let's continue to run our race of faith as little children!
Don't doubt what God is doing! Surrender anything that hinders your belief, drains your endurance, or dims your hope!
Let's keep running and keep looking up until we see His face!
Jesus is coming! Get ready!
"Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us." Paul, in Hebrews 11 talks about the great cloud of witnesses - the Patriarchs of faith: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, Samuel, David, and the prophets. If we read their stories we know that they all faced sin, doubt, and challenging times, but their faith prevailed until the very end and they were able to finish their race. They didn't allow unbelief to stop them. Just like clearing a path for a smooth run, let's set aside anything that's holding us back, making us feel stuck, or it's shaking our faith.
What is it? It could be our own doubts, past mistakes, painful memories, or regrets—think about anything that takes your focus off Jesus, stirs up fear, or shakes your faith. Bring it to Jesus and leave it behind!!
If you are doubting today, pray this prayer! It's a father's plea to believe that Jesus can deliver his son from a mute spirit that had been tormenting him since childhood.
"Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
“Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” Mark 9:23-24
Don't let the seed of doubt take root and flourish!
Put all your hope in Him. Let's keep running the race that is set in front of us, even in the midst of the trials and tribulations that we are going through.
Our finish line is approaching, so set your heart on Jesus, allow the Holy Spirit to guide you, and help you regain strength and endurance, so you can run faster and with ease.
Remember, all those patriarchs of faith are rooting for us in heaven! Also, be patient with yourself, for Jesus is both the author and finisher of our faith!

IF YOU HAVEN'T STARTED RUNNING YOUR RACE, IT'S TIME!
COME TO JESUS! HE'S COMING!
Believe Jesus is the Son of God, who shed His blood for you, died on the cross for our sins, He was buried and resurrected during the third day, according to the Scriptures, so we can have eternal life with Him.
The moment you believe in Him and that He died for your sins - you're saved, justified, sealed until the day of redemption, and rapture ready!
The Holy Spirit will come to live inside of you - He will help you, guide you, change you, and be with you FOREVER!
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." (John 3:16-18)
