Insightful, Biblical Devotions
“Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Heb. 12:2).
The Bible says let’s run with endurance. That means moving in the direction God is leading us no matter what we face. We are not going to quit because of mountains of obstacles in our way, thinking how will I be able to climb this. Or when the road seems to be deserted and empty, thinking why do I have to walk through this. And when it becomes so dark that we don’t see our way clear, the person who is weak will say “forget It, I give up, I quit”.
This is why sometimes we find people who used to come to church and serve the Lord but no longer do. And when you ask them, ‘what happened’? They say something wasn’t working for me. But the Christian life works. Rather, we are the ones who don’t want to work. We are the ones who want to quit. Surely, there will be difficulties ahead, but we don’t have to give up and quit. There is more than enough light to keep us going. Just trust and obey.
