RUN WITH ENDURANCE THE RACE SET BEFORE YOU TO RECEIVE GREATER FAITH.

I was close to quitting. I had walked all over our town to seek sponsors for the charitable race, and I was tired. We had organized this race to raise money for children in need who could not afford to go to summer camp. My friends did not want to participate in getting more sponsors this year, so I had to work even harder to get the needed donations. As I pounded the pavement, I heard God say, “Keep running with your eyes on me. I will strengthen you and give you even more endurance to press on as you live closer to me.” His voice kept me in the race.

Are you weary and ready to quit? Listen to the voice of truth calling you to press on to the prize of Jesus Christ. He will lift you up just when you need Him as you keep running your race. It might get tough along the way, but Jesus will give you what you need to finish strong. You will experience new joy as you serve Him faithfully and fearlessly!

PRAYER

Dear Lord, I will keep you close to my heart forever as it burns with fire for more of you in my life. I will run with endurance, as I know you will be with me every step of the way. Thank you, Lord, for showing me the victory that is mine in Jesus Christ! I am yours forever as I stay close to Your flame of strength, power, and love! In Jesus’ name, Amen.

PRAISE

Thank God for the endurance He gives you to finish the race!

PROMISE

“Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith…” Hebrews 12:1-2
