059: A marathon not a sprint | Hebrews 12:1

The Christian life is like a
marathon race. Get rid of anything that is weighing you
down.

Our One Verse today is packed
full of awesomeness. In one simple verse, we can see three key
principles for our spiritual lives. First, we learn that we are
surrounded by a “cloud of witnesses.” We don’t really know who
these witnesses are, but one thing is certain. Heaven is cheering
you on. Our One Verse also tells us that the Christian life is a
marathon, not a sprint. It takes perseverance. It takes discipline.
Stick with it. Finally, it we are running a race, we need to remove
any weight that is holding us back. We know we need to get rid of
sin in our lives. But what else is in your life that is holding you
back? It might not be sin, but it is getting in the way of God’s
best for your life? Let’s remove anything that hinders us from
running our race well.

One Verse is a short, daily
devotional designed to help you grow closer to God through less
than 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week.

Consistency trumps intensity.
When it comes to working out, eating healthy, or managing our
finances, consistency always trumps intensity. We reach our major
life goals through small, purposeful steps taken daily. The same is
true in our spiritual lives. I truly believe you will grow closer
to God by spending just 5 minutes a day with Him versus cramming in
an hour once a month. The One Verse Devotional is here to help take
away the barriers of spending time with God. Now, during your
workout, drive to work, or even shopping for groceries, you can
invest in your spiritual life.
