Fix Your Eyes and Keep Running

Friends,

Endurance is not something we scramble to build in the middle of a crisis. It is formed long before we need it. The Lord reminded me of that so clearly as I studied Hebrews 12. We are called to run our race with perseverance, fixing our eyes on Jesus, not on the noise around us. 

Endurance is built in the quiet places. It grows in the daily decisions to seek Him, obey Him, and trust Him even when no one else sees.

Running with endurance matters because the mission matters. Our faith is not sustained by isolated big emotional moments. We strengthen it through consistent time with God, through choosing obedience, and through letting Him remove what slows us down. Hebrews tells us to strip off all that is unnecessary, the sins and distractions that drain our strength. Those small compromises and cluttered priorities can exhaust us faster than any storm. When we release them, we run lighter and freer.

Endurance is also about perspective. We can’t look at discipline as punishment. It is training. 

God disciplines those He loves because He is shaping us to become mature. Hebrews reminds us that while discipline is uncomfortable in the moment, it produces a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained by it. That harvest is worth it.

We run with endurance not just for ourselves, but for others. Your faithfulness can inspire courage in someone else. When you keep going, you lead the way. You show others what it looks like to live fully surrendered and fully committed.

I encourage you to watch the entire episode, Run with Endurance. Let the Word settle in your heart. Decide what you no longer need to carry, and lay it down. Fix your eyes on Jesus. And keep running.

I’m wildly cheering you!
