Listen to the Word
…Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. (Hebrews 12:1)

The Bible says you are a runner. You may not consider yourself a runner. You may even think runners are missing some important mental hardware. Perhaps you wouldn’t even run if you were being chased by a hungry grizzly bear. But the Bible says you are a runner. Your life is a long distance race that must be run with perseverance.

This week we will ponder the Bible’s call to perseverance. God wants you to know that you can make it to the finish line. You can keep going even when things get hard. When you get knocked down, you can get back up and keep running. You can refuse to quit. You can persevere.

Live the Word
Ask God to give you perseverance. Commit to him that with his help, you will keep living for him through this week, even when it would be easier to give up.
