Day 81Mark 2:13-17; 1 Corinthians 5; Psalm 77; Joshua 13-14

Our ability to endure comes from the power of Jesus!The rock that we cling to is what makes us able to endure.We need the power of Jesus because we are weak.There is no shame in that!This is a universal truth! All of us are weak. We need His power.When we endure suffering and trial with peace and hope, people want to know why.

God is calling you into a deeper life of worship. That call means there are some things we need to take care of.That burden weighing you down? Get rid of it. That sin that keeps tripping you up? Remove it. Get serious about running the race of life for Christ and remove every hindrance!When the weights are off, the hindrances are removed, and the sin is confessed; start running.Run the race that God has called you to. Run with endurance. Run with your eyes on Jesus.

Day 76Mark 1:1-8; 1 Corinthians 1:1-17; Psalm 72; Joshua 1-2

The only reason we have hope, in this life or the next, is because we serve a risen Savior! As the Good Shepherd, He gave His life for His sheep. Then three days later, He rose from the dead. The tomb is empty, Jesus is alive.

Keep seeking the Lord until He answers. We are poor and needy. God’s help and deliverance are necessary. Keep crying out to Him. When troubles come, seek help from the Lord. He is our strength, our shield, our defender.He is our help.
