In the year 2021 a young woman by the name of Siffan Hassan of the Netherlands was competing in the Olympics. While she was running in the 1500 meter race, one of the runners tripped in front of her causing a domino effect. What could have devastated her entire Olympic competition, ultimately pushed her to win a gold medal that very same day in the 5000 meter race. It's not about how you start.. it's how you finish! Many believers start out their faith walk with excitement, humility and overall gratitude for everything that the Lord has delivered them from. But sometimes life gets in the way and knocks us down. It's in those moments that we have a choice to make. We can either get up and finish the race strong (knowing their will be many more setbacks) or choose to stay down on the ground casting blame for the rest of our life on the things that broke us. I encourage you today, GET UP. Keep the faith and finish strong!! 💪 🏃♀️
Hebrews 12:1-2: "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, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith."
2 Timothy 4:7: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."
