Our daughter put me on an Exercise routine. The first week I thought I was going to die due to muscles I found that had been dormant for so long! I will say that its gotten easier and I am not in pain anymore. However, it is a challenge to meet the routine goals every day even though they are not that much really. But I push on because I have a goal. What goals are you trying to reach for your life today?

Hebrews 12:1-3

New International Version

12 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, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

In Hebrews 12:1-3 the Bible tells us that Peter persevered in his walk. He knew that people were watching him. He kept his eyes on Jesus and therefore was able to keep going.

I know our daughter, my Coach is watching. She subtly checks in to see if I am staying on course. Just what I need.

The Holy Spirit is like that too. When we veer away from God's plan for our lives and what He wants us to do, we are gently nudged back into perspective. I love that about Him.

What are your eyes focusing on these days? Are you reaching towards the goal you set for yourself?
