Keep Focused on Being a Child of God

Hebrews 12:1-13

Inspired thots

This is an inspiring and motivating passage to continue in my faith faithfully. Yes, it is so easy to grow weary in doing good and keep trusting the Lord in Everything. The people and circumstances around me can be such distraction and discouragements but I forgot about the patriachs of faith as listed in the previous chapter. If these could hold on to their faith, WHY NOT I?

Why look at the 'negative' than the 'positive'? Such is the human nature.
Awareness and Reminders are the keys to faithfully walking with the Lord.
Hence, I will keep focused on Jesus. v2

I should not be complaining about this and that, for all that pales in comparison to being killed.
I have not even reach the stage, which I should be very thankful for.
Hardship is just God's discipline and molding of me to be holy like Him (v10)
The end result is Peace and Righteousness after the discipline. It is a time of training; training is a process.

v12,13 these verses bring new insight for me.
'Strengthen the feeble arms and weak knees' ~ spiritual exercise to stay 'in shape'
'Make level paths for your feet' ~ choose the right way to go about your life
so that 'the lame may not be disabled but rather healed' ~ healing is a possibility or a surety.
I choose to be lame or able; I can be healed even if I am lame. My God is powerful and I am His child to enjoy all the privileges! hallelujah!
