Let us run with perseverance
the race marked out for us.
—Hebrews 12:1
Coming up: sandwiched between January 1 and December 31 are 365 days of opportunities.
Challenges await you. You will be squeezed out of your comfort zones and forced to respond. Will you do it positively or negatively? Optimistically or pessimistically?
Be careful, or you’ll be so preoccupied with worrying and moaning that you’ll miss your opportunity to grow.
“Run with perseverance the race marked out for [you].” You can shave a few seconds off your running time this coming year by shedding those things that hinder you. Lay aside negative thoughts. Give up a stubborn sin. You’re a winner.
The old year is almost gone; the new is almost here.
Keep running.
