Hebrews 12:1-2
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 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.
Reflection
Life is like a race that requires perseverance and focus. We're encouraged by those who have gone before us and strengthened by keeping our eyes on Jesus, who shows us how to endure with purpose and joy.
