I think January must have felt like a long month, because part of me is struggling to believe that we are only on our third verse of the year... I hope that all of you are doing well and are making the memorization a priority. This is a new discipline for me, but I think that I'm already improving with it. My first verse about fighting this warfare with spiritual weapons that have divine power to destroy strongholds has come in handy more times than I can even count over the last few weeks... I'm so thankful to be able to refer back to it at any time!
I'm going short and sweet for this next one...

ReplyDeleteHebrews 12:1 (ESV)
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings to us so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.
I so regularly feel like life is a race that I am running and add to that trying to do a good job, a Godly job of it.... It's hard!!!! So, I love having the this verse and thought captive.
