Take Courage! God Has a Purpose for Your Life

SURROUNDED
then as we are by these serried ranks of witnesses, let us strip off everything that hinders us, as well as the sin which dogs our feet, and let us run the race that we have to run with patience,
our eyes fixed on
JESUS,
the source and the goal of our faith.

For he himself endured a cross and thought nothing of its shame because of the joy he knew would follow his suffering; and he is now seated at the right hand of God’s throne.

Think constantly of him enduring all that sinful men could say against him and you will not lose your PURPOSE or your COURAGE.

Hebrews 12:1-3 Phillips New Testament

I read this Scripture last night and a commentary by Reuben Welch in a book called When You Run Out of Fantastic . . . Persevere. I like the translation you quoted. Very timely for these days . . .
