Hebrews 12:1-3 (Voice) 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. 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. 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. 3 Consider the life of the One who endured such personal
attacks and hostility from sinners so that you will not grow weary or lose heart.

APPLICATION:
a. Bring the lies I asked you to write down to the altar today.

b. Our focus is no longer going to be who we don’t have or what we don’t have. Our focus is going to be on the non-changing One.

c. Let re-joicing energize your joy!
