Run strong, run hard, but pace yourself. The race is long. Heb 12:1 We too, then, having so great a cloud of witnesses all around us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race set before us, Heb 12:2 looking to the Princely Leader and Perfecter of our belief, יהושע, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the stake, having despised the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of Elohim. Heb 12:3 For consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and faint in your lives. Heb 12:4 You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. Heb 12:5 And you have forgotten the appeal which speaks to you as to sons, “My son, do not despise the discipline of יהוה, nor faint when you are reproved by Him, Heb 12:6 for whom יהוה loves, He disciplines, and flogs every son whom He receives.”1 Footnote: 1Prov. 3:11-12. Heb 12:7 If you endure discipline, Elohim is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom a father does not discipline? Heb 12:8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have become sharers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. Heb 12:9 Moreover, we indeed had fathers of our flesh disciplining us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and live? Heb 12:10 For they indeed disciplined us for a few days as seemed best to them, but He does it for our profit, so that we might share His apartness. Heb 12:11 And indeed, no discipline seems pleasant at the time, but grievous, but afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.1 Footnote: 1Dt. 8:2. Heb 12:12 So, strengthen the hands which hang down and the weak knees, Heb 12:13 and make straight paths for your feet, lest the lame be turned aside, but instead, to be healed. Then one day we will hear those wonderful words (YAH WILLING) Well done good and faithuful servant! Much love to you all, Brother Jay Intheway
