Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
looking unto Jesus. — Hebrews 12:1-2

'The Race!'
In 1992 the Summer Olympic Games were held in
Barcelona, Spain. One of the runners in the
400-meter race was an English athlete named Derek
Redmond. He had trained for years to compete in the
Olympics. But while sprinting in a qualifying heat,
he suddenly pulled a hamstring and crumpled to the
track in pain.
Determined to go on, Derek struggled to his feet. He
was hobbling toward the finish line when his father
scaled the retaining wall and jumped onto the track.
Before anyone could stop him, Jim Redmond reached
his son. The young runner leaned on his father’s
shoulder as he staggered to complete the race. The
entire crowd stood and cheered the two men on. When
they crossed the finish line, it was as if the
runner, his father, and the spectators had done it
together.
The writer of Hebrews encourages us to run the race
of faith and persevere to the end, following the
example of those who have gone before us. It takes
all of our spiritual stamina to complete it, but we
don’t run the course alone. Christ Himself helps us
toward the finish line. Therefore, “let us lay aside
every weight, and . . . run with endurance the race
that is set before us” (Heb.
12:1).

BE BLESSED
Reflect & Pray
Run the straight race thru God's
good grace,
Lift up thine eyes and seek His
face;
Life with its way before us lies,
Christ is the path and Christ the
prize. —Monsell
We are judged by how we finish, not
by how we start.
Jesus died in our place to give us His peace.

Dear Lord, You bless me in
more ways than I can count. Thank You for Your love for
me.
When you think of all that’s good, give thanks to God.
