Sept 24 ~ STAYING CONNECTED TO THE POWER SOURCE:  CROSS AND THE CROWN

Hebrews 12:2 “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 is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

When an athlete competes in a race, he must keep his focus on the goal:  finishing the race and obtaining the prize.  During the race, the athlete must not allow himself to become distracted by the yells or applause of the crowd.  Just like the athlete, we must press through by keeping our minds on Jesus and not be swayed by the circumstances we face; they are but temporary.  In this race, we must press through because the weight of the glory exceeds our sufferings.  Therefore, let us hold on to Him who started the race, finished the race, and is the controller of the race.
