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, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:1‭-‬2 NIV +

Written by Jung

Can you picture the scene that Paul is describing here?

Imagine yourself running a very important race. You are surrounded by numerous people who want you to win. They are all encouraging you and cheering for you. They trust you and have faith in you. There is Jesus, who has already endured inevitable hardships for you, waiting with a crown of victory.

May this be your life this week as you run a race that you have already won in Christ.

Bless you, for He who is with you is the Most High.

Zephaniah 3:11-12 (NIV) On that day you, Jerusalem, will not be put to shame
for all the wrongs you have done to me,
because I will remove from you
your arrogant boasters.
Never again will you be haughty
on my holy hill.
But I will leave within you
the meek and humble.
The remnant of Israel
will trust in the name of the LORD.

Written by Jung

As Zephaniah speaks of the fall of Jerusalem, it warns of God’s abolishment of the arrogant and proud from it.

Then, only the humble and meek will remain to trust and worship the Lord.

The fall of Jerusalem was meant to purify Israel.

Brothers and sisters, in His grace, whatever you are going through, tough and tiring, Jesus is purifying us through them without ceasing.

Face the world with confidence that our good God is with us, and what remains in us will be holy in His sight because we will praise Him.
