We Are Not Alone

Scripture: 1 So since we stand surrounded by all those who have gone before, an enormous cloud of witnesses, let us drop every extra weight, every sin that clings to us and slackens our pace, and let us run with endurance the long race set before us. 2 Now stay focused on Jesus, who designed and perfected our faith. He endured the cross and ignored the shame of that death because He focused on the joy that was set before Him; and now He is seated beside God on the throne, a place of honor. (Hebrews 12:1-2 The Voice) We may feel alone, but we aren’t. We are surrounded by an army of witnesses. They have run the race of faith and finished well. It is now our turn. All the stories of those who have gone before give us so much encouragement to not give in or give up. It is a journey and if we hang on to sins that weigh us down, we will not finish well. Jesus has shown us the way. Father, I desire to always stay focused on Jesus, and to drop any weight of sin that would hinder my walk with You. Thank You for reminders from those who have gone before me. AMEN Thank You that my steps are directed by You, Lord, and that You delight in every detail of my life. You are there to hold my hand. Psalm 37
