“Therefore then, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], 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” (Hebrews 12:1, AMPC).

When we feel like giving up, we’re encouraged by the many believers who can testify to how Christ has impacted their lives at a critical moment. Life is more like a long-distance run than a quick sprint; we must pace ourselves to steadily move toward our goal.

“Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all… But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God… For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified” (Hebrews 10:9, 10, 12, 14).

Under old covenant law, everyone was considered imperfect and flawed and the high priests made annual sacrifices to atone for the people’s sin. When Jesus replaced the law with grace, His death and resurrection made us perfect in Him. Therefore, when religion tells us we’re sinners, we know the truth: we’re the righteousness of God.

“So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised” (Hebrews 10:35, 36, NIV).

We’re instructed to have confidence in the promises God makes to us in the Scriptures, because each one of them is true. His will is for us to have rich, abundant, joyful lives; persevering in that belief keeps us anchored solidly during the storms of life.

“Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him: With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the Lord our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah” (2 Chronicles 32:7, 8).

The daily spiritual battles we all face aren’t ours to fight, but God’s. He has already won every battle; we share in the victory when we trust Him enough to rest in it. When we’re facing our own spiritual “king of Assyria,” God’s promises give us superior strength and courage.

“Ah Lord God! Behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee” (Jeremiah 32:17).

There are plenty of things too hard for us when we try to do them through self-effort. God honors our request when we acknowledge that we need His help and guidance. His involvements brings supernatural results we could never achieve by ourselves.

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness” (Isaiah 41:10).

Life can bring some nasty surprises; when the situation gets ugly, God reassures us that we don’t have to let fear get the best of us. When things happen, He promises to strengthen us for the task and help us get through it.

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28).

Regardless of what’s happening in our lives, God handles issues much better than we ever could. When we trust Him enough to turn over what we can’t handle, He works everything out perfectly.

“And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them” (Deuteronomy 28:13).

Religion tells us that life should be hard and we should struggle and toil endlessly, but God tells us the exact opposite. His plan for us is that we rise above anything that threatens to hold us down and walk in victory every day.

“And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation” (Luke 1:50).

The fear of God prevents us from being too proud and haughty; morality, an upright character, and godly principles spring from this fear. Passing on the lessons found in the Scriptures to future generations allows God to have mercy and compassion on us, our children, our grandchildren, and our great-grandchildren.
