Run With Endurance
Hebrews 12:1 (NIV) — “Let us throw off everything that hinders… and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.”
Galatians 6:9 (NIV) — “Let us not become weary in doing good.”
Isaiah 40:31 (NIV) — “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.”
1 Corinthians 9:24 (NIV) — “Run in such a way as to get the prize.”
Philippians 3:13–14 (NIV) — “Forgetting what is behind… I press on toward the goal.”
Proverbs 4:25–26 (NIV) — “Let your eyes look straight ahead.”
The Christian life is not a sprint driven by emotion, but a race sustained by hope and steady trust in God. He does not ask us to run perfectly, only faithfully, continuing forward through both strong days and tired ones. Some seasons feel light and full of energy, while others feel heavy and slow, yet endurance is formed when we choose not to quit. Faithfulness matters more than speed, and perseverance is never overlooked by the Lord. As we fix our eyes ahead and place our hope in Him, God renews our strength and gently carries us forward—step by faithful step—toward the prize He has already prepared.
lyrics by Zeb of Virginia Beach Church
from his song “With Every Step And Every Breath”
as we walk this twisted treacherous land
and slowly move from birth to death
Jesus walks beside us
with every step and every breath
as we navigate this tumultuous life
with our sins and our regrets
we hold on tight to Jesus
with every step and every breath
Dear Jesus give us wisdom
Blessed Jesus give us strength
Jesus help us follow you
with every step and every breath
with every step and every breath
with every step and every breath
Lord be with us always (changed)
with every step and every breath
someday we’ll be in heaven
but we ain’t got there yet
so let’s stay centered in Jesus
with every step and every breath
Lord, help me run this race with endurance. Strengthen me when I am tired and keep my eyes fixed on You. Lead me forward, step by faithful step. Amen.
YouTube Description Summary
“Run With Endurance” is a devotional reflection on Hebrews 12:1 and the call to persevere in faith. The Christian life is not a sprint driven by emotion, but a steady race sustained by hope in the Lord. Drawing from Scripture across the Bible, this piece encourages believers to lay aside what hinders, fix their eyes forward, and trust God for renewed strength. As a new year unfolds, faithfulness—not speed—becomes the true measure of progress, and endurance becomes an act of worship.

Holy Holy Holy and WELCOME to a new instance of archaeological Biblical Proof from your friends at the Daily Redemption Bible Bulletins at theholygospel.net—and here we go….
“Run the Race Set Before You”
ELENA, 50s, laces up worn shoes before dawn. Her community kitchen lost funding. Doubt whispers: “Quit.”
But she opens her Bible and reads Hebrews 12:1:
“Let us throw off everything that hinders… and run with perseverance the race marked out for us.”
She steps out—not in strength, but surrender.
As she walks, Galatians 6:9 steadies her:
“Let us not become weary in doing good… if we do not give up, we will reap a harvest.”
She sees a young mother she once fed—now working, holding her child’s hand.
No applause. Just faithfulness bearing fruit.
She prays:
“Lord, strengthen me for the race. Help me release what slows me down.”
Then Isaiah 40:31 rises in her spirit:
“Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.”
She’s not fast. But she’s faithful.
And she remembers a line from a song in church:
“Jesus walks beside us with every step and every breath.”
Her eyes stay ahead. Her pace, steady.
Because the prize isn’t applause—it’s His presence.
