Discipline in the Heavenly Race



What a powerful message in today’s world – full of distractions, temptations and difficult challenges.  How do we stay true to our faith?

We are to live in the light of Jesus’ Presence by fixing our eyes on him.  He began and finished this race.  What an amazing example for us – to run with endurance without growing weary, giving in to fear and losing heart on our life’s journey.

Jesus is the Founder and Perfecter of our faith.  He never lost sight of his goal.  He could handle anything he encountered, even the cross, to finish in his place of honor at the right hand of God.

When we occupy our time living close to God by praising him and expressing our thankfulness, we too are promised true joy in the presence of God.

Prayer:  I am blessed by your loving Presence in my life.  When I face challenges, let your light shine through me.  You are my constant companion.  As I focus on you, please protect me and guide me through each day.  Please lift me up and give me the strength, courage and discipline to stay on my true path.  In Jesus’ name.  Amen.
