“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us …”

Excerpt:
There are seasons in our lives when we look and feel spiritually strong. We faithfully have daily quiet time, attend
Sunday services, forgive quickly, serve in multiple ways, adhere to spiritual disciplines and fellowship with others.
Then we experience unexpected obstacles we must overcome that leave us exhausted, out of breath and ready to give up.
The author of Hebrews offers us encouragement for those seasons in our lives.
