An encouragement from the Lord:
Be not distracted from the race I have for you. Stay in your lane and I will provide. Keep focused on Me for I AM all you need. Consider well the path before your feet. Walk with your eyes fixed on Me. Tear them off the opposition, disregard the competition. For the joy I give will sustain and revitalise. It will prepare you for the fight and strengthen your mind.
“…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.
We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.
Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame.
Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.”
Hebrews 12:1-2 (NLT)
Consider well the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established and ordered aright.
Turn not aside to the right hand or to the left; remove your foot from evil.
Proverbs 4:26, 27 (AMPC)
