Run Your Race
Finishing faithfully.
Endurance to the finish line.
The big idea
You don't have to win — you have to finish, and you don't run alone.
What does “Run Your Race” walk through?
Run with Endurance
Hebrews 12:1 · KJV
Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.
In plain English
Drop the weights. Drop the sin that keeps tripping you. Run the race set in front of you — patiently.
Your Race
Stop watching others' lanes. Run the race marked out for you.
Keep the Faith
2 Timothy 4:7 · KJV
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
In plain English
I fought a good fight. I finished the race. I kept the faith.
Finish Well
The goal isn't speed but faithfulness. Keep the faith to the end.
Pray
Lord, help me run my race with endurance and finish faithful. Amen.
Write it down
What helps you keep going when faith gets hard?
You finished: Run Your Race
Eyes forward. Keep running. The finish is worth it.
