THE RACE

PSALM 20:7 (ABP)
Many people put their trust in military might or personal strength, but we put our trust in the reputation of the Lord our God.

HEBREWS 12:1-2 (NLT)
And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from start to finish.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Fix your eyes on Jesus if you want to complete this difficult race.

PRAYER
You, O God, are totally reliable. You're the best coach there is. Yet, I've been known to accept training from coach wannabes. Consequently, I buckle under the pressure of the race. Help me to keep my focus on you and you alone. I'm going to depend on you to help me complete the race I've been called to run. Amen.
