Wednesday's Word: Keep Going!

Today I wanted to share some scriptures from God's Word to help encourage you as we've reached the midpoint of this week.

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses,

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,

 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. 

Hebrews 12:1, 2

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do,

forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3:13, 14

Look to those witnesses who have run before you. Remember the testimonies of those who have gone down similar paths, faced similar challenges, and overcame. Keep going! You can and will overcome anything that faces you!

Don't let sin trip you up! Don't allow your past mistakes to keep you from moving forward! Keep going! You have a high calling with a great reward waiting on you! You have a life of purpose to fulfill! Keep moving forward in the Lord!

It doesn't matter how long it's been, it doesn't matter how hard the road is... If Jesus endured the cross knowing the the joy that waited on the other side for Him, we can endure any temporary pain knowing the joy of our promise in God is waiting for us on the other side.

Let the Word work on the inside of you today. Stay encouraged. Keep pushing. Your victory is sure. Your promise is solid. You can and will obtain it - all you have to do is keep going.
