Reflections of Hope Tuesday, January 20 2015
Run, jog or walk you are free from your past. “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,” Hebrew 12:1 AMP It is important to have a mentor whether in business, school, church or a family member; however, don’t become so consumed with others accomplishments that you lose sight of your goals and purpose in the heat of the speed of life. The race of achievement is not given to the swift nor the strong but to the one that endures (Matt. 24:13). So in this race you may stumble or fall; someone might trip you up, but stay the course of destiny by setting your pace. Sure, the Matthew passage encourages you to persevere until the end to be saved – to obtain eternal life. Yet, Salvation in this life offers many amenities: health, wealth, a good life and success in all forms. Look around you and see how many of our brothers and sisters testimonies of greatness provide margins of hope . . . the results of reaching their goals. Learn to strip your life of time stealers, confusing discussions, discouragers, and unhealthy habits; whatever clings to you preventing endurance – Let it Go! Set your pace press toward you’re appointed destiny. Let’s talk about how do you set your own pace to accomplish task |
