“Therefore, since 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.”
Hebrews 12:1 NLT
So many saints known and unknown have gone before us. They are watching our race. How will they see our race, our preparation and our diligence? We will have all eternity to speak to these and hear their testimonies.
What is my testimony looking like! Does it engender faith in those on earth who watch? Do they see my humanity? Do they make allowances or do they criticise? What matters most is that Jesus be evident.
Do the saints of old look on and sigh? ‘No don’t do that or don’t go that way!’ Or are they cheering me on? I want to live a good and righteous testimony. Is anything hidden or is all seen?
The One I most want to please is my Lord. I have had a dream in which He praises me for my endurance. However, I cannot assume all will be well, I must apply myself to my faith! There is an eternal picture here and it is that which is important. Amen!
