Title : The Race Before Us

-

"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Hebrews 12:1"
Devotion : There is a race set before every child of God and he or she is expected to win this race. The race may not be the same for everybody, but the expectation of winning is the same for everybody.
  What must we do then? The opening scripture gives us a clue to the answer: We should lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily besets us, and run with patience. The weight in your life may be laziness, pornography, overeating, ignorance, failing to study the Bible frequently, etc. The sin that easily besets you might be telling lies, stealing, gossiping, fornication, adultery, drunkenness, etc.
  It is our duty to identify that sin in our lives; they may not be the same for everyone since we all have different temperaments and weaknesses. Once you have identified these, ask for grace and run with patience, and you will definitely win. 
  Praise the Lord! Dear beloved, have you identified the sin that easily besets you? What must you do to win over this? Share your thoughts here.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
