Persevere in running the race that lies before us

“Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfecter of faith.” (HEB 12: 1-2)  

“The race that lies before us” is easier when we are “keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfecter of faith.” He answers all our needs; He knows perfectly where to go and how to protect us.

“My sheep hear my voice, says the Lord; I know them, and they follow me.”
