Ps. 70: Prayer for deliverance from enemies.
Heb. 12:1-3: Seeing the great cloud of witnesses lay aside and every thing in our path and consider what Jesus did for us. then live worthy of it.
John 13:21-32:Jesus prophecies of being portrayed and then Judas goes to do so.
This is the day that we remember that Jesus was betrayed by one who was one of his 12 disciples (John 12:21-32). Isiah prophesied of what Jesus would go through for us (Is. 50:4-9). In Psalms we see a prayer that could easily been said by Jesus at this time (Ps. 70). Paul tells God's followers to consider what Jesus did for us & what those who have gone before us suffered for Christ (Heb. 12:1-3). For when we do we are sure to lay aside whatever is in our way to follow in Jesus' footsteps willingly.
As I see it. We are on a field running the race of life, and those who have gone before us, is in the grandstands cheering us on as we run. They know what it takes to run this race. they understand what it can cost to run for Jesus. But they also know what rewards there are at the end of that race and they cheer on... keep going... you are doing fine... get up and run... (Heb. 12: 1-3). Let us listen to them and keep running towards Jesus and the prize that he will give at the end of the race.
Challenge of the day:
Today, let us lay aside anything that is keeping us from running the race of life victoriously.
Accomplishment of the day:
What did you lay aside today?
