Scripture is God-breathed and true. When we memorize it, we carry the good news of Jesus with us wherever we go.
For this study, we will memorize our key passage, Hebrews 12:1–2. This week we will start with verse 1, which reminds us to keep our eyes on Jesus, who goes before us on our journey of faith.
Therefore, since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every hindrance and the sin that so easily ensnares us. Let us run with endurance the race that lies before us, keeping our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. For the joy that lay before him, he endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
—Hebrews 12:1–2

Vicki- praying for your husband!
The reading today really spoke to me! It’s so reassuring to have Jesus walking along side us!
The reading really spoke to me this morning!
As the sun beams down, warming the ground, I close my eyes and open my heart to the sound of the “great cloud of witnesses” that surround me (Hebrews 12:1a). I fix my gaze upon Jesus and my ears upon the ancient voices of faith. All the way back… Abel who offered to God a most excellent sacrifice (Hebrews 11:4)… “Able is now dead, but he still speaks.” So, I will listen. Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jeptath, David, Samuel, and all the prophets… So many saints calling out with cheers of endurance, perseverance, true faith, and hope. “Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.” (Hebrews 12:1b). Father God, You came to us through Jesus. You gave us a leader to follow home. You gave us a voice of endurance and an audience of hope and joy. Help me discern the sound of their cheers over the voice of the enemy that seeks to destroy life and goodness here. Jesus is at the finish line, and He will receive us in His arms of victory. Praise be to God. For my life, for my breath, for this day. I can do this. Hallelujah. Maranatha. Amen.
Vicki, Absolutely! He is not in this battle alone, but surrounded by Jesus and an army of saints angels. Praising God for your husband’s endurance to get through this year. Praying.
