A great verse for life!

Hebrews 12:1-2,28-29.

Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance, and the sin which so easily entangles us, and run with endurance the race that is set before us,
fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe;
for our God is a consuming fire.


Isn't that a beautiful, encouraging and freeing verse?

That's the verse I will look to in the midst of all of the various debates I come across in life and on the web.
I want to offer to God my service with reverence and awe...I want Him to be my consuming fire.

Running the race,
Donna
