Let's Do This... Together

Hey y'all, I that everything is great! I've been down with a migraine but it's finally gone! Here's today's scripture:

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who by faith have testified to the truth of God’s absolute faithfulness], stripping off every unnecessary weight and the sin which so easily and cleverly entangles us, let us run with endurance and active persistence the race that is set before us,
HEBREWS 12:1 AMP
https://bible.com/bible/1588/heb.12.1.AMP

NIV translation
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,
Hebrews 12:1 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/heb.12.1.NIV

TPT version
As for us, we have all of these great witnesses who encircle us like clouds. So we must let go of every wound that has pierced us and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we will be able to run life’s marathon race with passion and determination, for the path has been already marked out before us.
Hebrews 12:1 TPT
https://bible.com/bible/1849/heb.12.1.TPT

And of course the MSG translation which I think says it best and most inspiring
Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus , who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there , in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!
Hebrews 12:1‭-‬3 MSG
https://bible.com/bible/97/heb.12.1-3.MSG

This scripture most definitely feeds my bones inspiration and encouragement! I pray it does for you too! What's even better is that by us lifting each other up, we are helping each other win this race, TOGETHER! That fills me with so much joy.  Much love and may peace be with you...
