Hebrews 12:1-2Since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.

Keep your eyes on Jesus and take courage from the examples of those who have gone before. When you take your eyes off Jesus, you will wander down side roads that take you away from him. The question isn’t how fast you are running but are you still on the track following in Jesus’ steps?
