WITNESSES

Today's reading: Hebrews 11-13

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily hinders our progress. And let us run with endurance the race that God has set before us." Hebrews 12:1 NLT

Ever thought about the witnesses to your race of faith?

The ones who have vested interest in your Christian walk--the former pastors, Sunday School teachers, godly parents and mentors?

The ones laced up running beside you--church friends, prayer partners, godly co-workers who see you day in and day out?

The ones you're trying to reach for the Lord--the unsaved neighbor, the prodigal child, the almost-but-not-quite believers?

There are witnesses to our faith walks just like we are witnesses to the walks of others.

Let's not remember whose eyes are upon us. Let us not forget how important it is to keep on keeping on. Someone did it for us, let's do it for someone else!
