"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us" (Hebrews 12:1, NIV).
I grew up playing sports, and I’ve experienced
the difference it makes to have somebody in the stands pulling for you. When you
know they’re watching you, you hear them calling your name, you see their hands
up in the air; it does something on the inside. It causes you to jump a little
higher and run a little faster. You’ve got a greater determination because you
know somebody is rooting for you.
Today, you have a great multitude in heaven cheering you on! They’re saying,
“You can do it! You’re a winner! You are well able, strong and equipped. No
weapon formed against you shall prosper!”
No matter what difficulty you may be facing, you always have the home field
advantage. You are always surrounded by the voice of victory. Let that sink down
deep into your heart today. Let it build confidence in you and give you the
strength you need to keep moving forward into the abundant, victorious life He
has prepared for you!
Father God, open the eyes of my heart. Help me to see the grand stands of heaven cheering me on. Thank You for instilling confidence, power and grace in me so that I can run my race and finish strong! In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
