Race of faith

Heb 12:1-2 Heb 10:36With these verses God is telling us that we have to run the race of faith with patience, in other words it is not a sprint it is a marathon, you can ask any long distance runners you have to pace yourself and not give u, you can start sprinting and expect you will finish coz you won’t. If you persevere in patience, standing form in the faith God has given you, and on His word you will receive the promises He has for us. We all go though trails and tribulations, but it is in momemts like these, that we need to stay focused on Jesus, trust in Him and not give up, and definitely not take matters into our own hands. 

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. The moment that we start doing that we will miss so many things God has in store for us. 

James 5:11 Behold we count them happy which endur, ye have heard of the patience of Job and have seen The end of the Lord, that the Lord is very pityful and of tender mercyJob went through trails and tribulations, but never did he fail to stay focused on God, He kept on praising Him, holding on to the promise. He knew that if he pushed through he will be able to receive the promises God had for  him.  He knew that God will never leave his side. 

Rom 5:2-5By whom we have access by faith into this Grace wherein we stand and rejoys vin hope of the glory of God. And not only so but we glory in tribulation also, knowing that tribulation worketh patience and patienc, experience and experience hope and hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shedbabroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given unto us. 
As we continue with the race of faith in our life’s we grow in the will of our Father, as well as who we are in Him, knowing that we will one day receive the victors crown as we stand before Him. As we are tested we are strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might so that we may have great endurance and patience.
