We Have Witnesses!

7/19/2016

"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." -Hebrews 12:1 (NIV)
Sometimes things are not as they appear.  The images and events portrayed on television, the internet, or in print are edited and interpreted for time and space, but they may also be edited for point of view and not reflect the whole story or even the true story.  A colleague recently shared such an interpretation of events being reported differently than what she saw and experienced.  Fortunately for her and others involved, there were witnesses! 

A lot of times we rely on others to check our own experiences or to support and justify our own feelings.  If we are alone and enduring false accusations, it is difficult to convince others!  We are fortunate to be surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses.  If we are saved by Jesus and redeemed through our faith in Him, then we do not have to worry about what others are saying.  The heavenly witnesses surrounding us know the truth!  We can continue to take off the sin that slows us down and we can persevere and run the race for truth, justice, and God's love, being cheered on by many witnesses!

You have witnesses, now go and run the race with faith and perseverance!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for providing me with redemption and with witnesses.  Help me to continue to run the race for Your glory.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
