Hebrews 12 "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witness ,let us lay aside every weight,and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us".
Running the Christian race is not easy. We will encounter many trials and tribulations. If we preserve and stay in the race me er giving up we will finish strong. Life will sometimes knock you down to a low place. Just as a runner gets back up after a fall ,so should the Christian. Wipe yourself off ,loose the chains and bondage that is holding you down and get back in the race. Never Ever Quit ,Run The Race.
Excellent word!
