From Hebrews 12:1-2: “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Facing challenges
Darkest, stressful times
Feeling need to flee
Days no longer rhyme
Cresting floodwaters
Race seems lost, no doubt
Overwhelming doom
Path blocked, no way out
Inner voice speaking
Quitters never win
Winners never quit
Life’s new road begins
Looking to Jesus
Faith’s firm cornerstone
Enduring His fate
Never feel alone
Hearing His message
Persistence wins out
Yielding victory
Timeless turnabout
From James 1:12: “Blessed is anyone who endures temptation. Such a one has stood the test and will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love Him.”
