Happy New Year!
Before Christmas I wrote about Jesus being the author and finisher of our faith.
I wrote about his nail scarred hands writing and turning the pages of the Bible, the book he inspired.
The day after I wrote about it, this video clip was played at church;

I like how it says; “Within ancient ink there is a living God.”

The author and finisher; and the race
Did you know the author of the Bible wrote about a race?
“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 author and finisher of our faith.” Hebrews 12:1
We’ve all got a race to run, a race that we were entered in before we were even born. Think about that!
Do you know the race is on; and the author has got his eye on you?
It’s no ordinary race. Some of you may be already running. You may be the first in your family line to run, or you may be the last.
Sometimes you will run, sometimes you will walk, sometimes you will stumble and fall, and sometimes, you will rise on the wings of an eagle. Those are the best times, when you can stop running, wing it and see what the eagle sees.
I’ll leave you with this verse for the times when you feel discouraged
“Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:31
I’ve written about my own race in Chapter 79 The year of inheritance, in case you are interested. I have referred to myself in the chapter as “the Princess”, but I will be changing her to myself in accordance to the advice I got from Publishers. Anyway, here it is;
