The Mt Kenya Times 
Bible
So the discipline of perseverance confronts us to:
- Divest. We must throw off every besetting sin, those sins whose crimson tipped fingers so easily entangle us. Our besetting sins are unique to us. They may not tempt others, but they slay us as we swill their seeming sweetness. Probing deeper, we must cast off everything that hinders us — even the good things. If we don’t, we’ll never run as we ought. Are you willing to do some radical divesting? That is the question.
- Run. Then we must run our own race, the race God has marked out for us. Your race is not my race, and my race is not yours. You can finish your race. It is God’s will. And He will give you the grit to persevere as you run. So run, my brother, run!
- Focus. We must focus on Jesus. There must be no distracted glances. Jesus must cover the sky. He must be our center. And we must focus on His focus and His joy because it is our joy. His joy set before us will give us the power to endure, even despising the world’s disdain.
- Consider. So we are to consider Him. Our life is to be spent considering how He lived. We are to run like Jesus did, completely divested. We are to run with Him. We are to run toward Him. We are to fix our eyes on Him. We are to focus on His focus. He is to be our perpetual consideration. He has a race for us to run. And we can do it as we lean on Him.
Food for Thought and you should ask yourself questions like:
What entanglements (besetting sins) and hindrances (legitimate things that are pulling you down) do you need to cast aside and leave behind? Be specific. Why is it so hard to do this?
What is the race that God has mapped out for you like — straight, twisting, flat, hilly? Why or why not are you able to persevere in that race? What has been your greatest victory so far?
Do you think that at the end of your life you will be able to say, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith”? Why or why not? What would it take to be able to say that? What can you do today to lead to that result?
What does it really mean to “fix our eyes on Jesus”? Is His joy your joy? Why or why not?
With such kind of genuineness, we shall FINISH WELL, in Jesus Christ Mighty Name: AMEN.
GOD HELP US, AND DELIVER, LEAD US ALWAYS INTO YOUR WAY EVERLASTING: AMEN.
