God helps me run my race with Victory
February 28 – Today Meditate On: God helps me run my race with victory.
Hebrews 12:1, “Therefore, then, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance—unnecessary weight—and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us.”
1 Chronicles 26:27, “From spoil won in battles they dedicated gifts to maintain the house of the Lord.”
“Spiritual force is stored in the depths of our being, through the very pain which we cannot understand.”
“Someday we shall find the spoils we have won from our trials were just preparing us to become true ‘Great Hearts’ in the ‘Pilgrim’s Progress,’ and to lead our fellow pilgrims triumphantly through trial to the city of the King.”
“But let us never forget the source of helping other people must be victorious suffering…”
“Paul did not carry a cemetery with him, but a chorus of victorious praise; and the harder the trial, the more he trusted and rejoiced, shouting from the very altar of sacrifice…”
“Lord, help me this day to draw strength from all that comes to me!” From Streams in the Desert, pg. 92. (NS)
God helps me run my race with victory.”
