Hebrews 12:1-2 (Amplified Bible) THEREFORE THEN, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us, Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
Everyone has a purpose, and everyone has a part in God's plan. But the race that God has for you to run can only be done by keeping your eyes on Jesus. You can't even begin to run your race if Jesus is not your personal Lord and Savior. But once you get on the path, the one thing that will slow you down and trip you up, is sin. Sin is "missing the mark", or simply put, "not doing what the Word says to do." Those who do what the word says to do are the ones who will be blessed. When you are a doer of the Word, you will be blessed in what you do. You will make your way prosperous and you will have good success. When it comes to the Word of God, determine today to not just be one that hears only, but one that takes it a step further and puts it into action.
Have A Blessed Day
