Re posting this because I needed it today…
Hebrews 12:1 ‘ … and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us.’ — I LOVE this. Not only because I love to run and the analogy fits me well but I love that God directs us to stay the course with patience. Which to me means that there are going to be things that will distract, encumber, and discourage. But HE who is faithful will deliver me from that if I allow it. So amazed at God’s love and and encouragement.
I choose today to be steady, not easily turned, not wavered but set on the course God has prepared for me. And I pursue his calling on my life. I pray for wisdom and blessings to rain on me and my family. I cast out fear, worry, doubt, sickness, strife and bitterness. I will dwell in His perfect love. And taking to heart that we are redeemed.

Deuteronomy 28

28 If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow<sup class="crossreference" value="(A)”> all his commands<sup class="crossreference" value="(B)”> I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth.<sup class="crossreference" value="(C)”> 2 All these blessings will come on you<sup class="crossreference" value="(D)”> and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God:

3 You will be blessed<sup class="crossreference" value="(E)”> in the city and blessed in the country.<sup class="crossreference" value="(F)”>
4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.<sup class="crossreference" value="(G)”>
5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.
6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.<sup class="crossreference" value="(H)”>

7 The Lord will grant that the enemies<sup class="crossreference" value="(I)”> who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.<sup class="crossreference" value="(J)”>


8 The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless<sup class="crossreference" value="(K)”> you in the land he is giving you.

9 The Lord will establish you as his holy people,<sup class="crossreference" value="(L)”> as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands<sup class="crossreference" value="(M)”> of the Lord your God and walk in obedience to him. 10 Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name<sup class="crossreference" value="(N)”> of the Lord, and they will fear you. 11 The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock<sup class="crossreference" value="(O)”> and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.<sup class="crossreference" value="(P)”>

12 The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse<sup class="crossreference" value="(Q)”> of his bounty,<sup class="crossreference" value="(R)”> to send rain<sup class="crossreference" value="(S)”> on your land in season and to bless<sup class="crossreference" value="(T)”> all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.<sup class="crossreference" value="(U)”> 13 The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow<sup class="crossreference" value="(V)”> them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.<sup class="crossreference" value="(W)”> 14 Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left,<sup class="crossreference" value="(X)”> following other gods and serving them.

Take hold of what God says is yours. Continue the race with patient endurance knowing that He protects, provides, gives wisdom and is eagerly awaiting the next chapter in your life.
