Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of
witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so
easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is
set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our
faith....
--Hebrews 12:1-2
Is Satan giving you a hard time in your life of faith-in the
Christian race you are running? Expect it if you are a believing
child of God!
Satan hates your God. He hates Jesus Christ. He hates your faith.
You should be aware of the devil's evil intentions. He wants you
to lose the victor's crown in the race you have entered by faith
through grace....
When by faith we have entered this lifelong spiritual course, the
Holy Spirit whispers, "Do you truly want to be among the victors
in this discipline?" When we breathe our "Yes! Yes!" He whispers
of ways that will aid us and carry us to certain victory.
The Spirit tells us to throw off everything that would hinder us
in the race. He tells us to be aware of the little sins and
errors that could divert us from the will of God as we run. But
here is the important thing: He tells us to keep our eyes on
Jesus, because He alone is our pacesetter and victorious
example.
"Father, let me see Jesus this morning. Then go with me today and
help me to keep my eyes fixed on Him. I'm going to encounter all
kinds of diversions; I'll look to You to keep my eyes and heart
focused on my 'pacesetter and victorious example.' Amen."
