Almost There

Scripture

"Therefore let's also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let's run with perseverance the race that is set before us." — Hebrews 12:1 (WEB)

Teaching

The finish line is within sight. Whether your fast is 3 days, 7 days, 21 days, or 100 days — you are further along than when you started. Every day has brought growth, and every day has moved you closer to who God is calling you to be. Hebrews 12 reminds us that we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses — the heroes of faith who ran their race before us. They cheer us on. They remind us that endurance is possible and the prize is worth it. Lay aside anything that slows you down. Set your eyes on Jesus. Run with perseverance. You are almost there.
