SOMEBODY IS ROOTING FOR YOU!
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1 (NIV)
If you grew up playing sports, you may have experienced the difference it makes to have somebody in the stands cheering you on. When you know they are watching you, or you hear them calling your name, or you see their hands up in the air, it does something on the inside. It causes you to jump a little higher and run a little faster.
You get a greater determination because you know somebody is rooting for you. Today, you have a great multitude in heaven cheering you on! They opening scripture refers to them as a great cloud of witnesses. They are saying, ‘You can do it! You are a winner! You are well able, strong and equipped. No weapon formed against you shall prosper!’
No matter what difficulty you may be facing, you always have the home field advantage. You are always surrounded by the voice of victory. Let that sink down deep into your heart today. Let it build confidence in you and give you the strength you need to keep moving forward into the abundant, victorious life He has prepared for you!
Confession
I am a victor, I am more than a conqueror and no weapon formed against me shall prosper. I belong to the majority side and I always have the home field advantage. Indeed, I am a winner; I am well able, strong and well equipped to achieve excellence. I am always on top!
Prayer
Father God, open the eyes of my heart. Help me to see the grand stands of heaven cheering me on. Thank You for instilling confidence, power and grace in me so that I can run my race and finish strong! I bless you Lord in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Reference: Romans 12:12; 1 Corinthians 9:24; Philippians 3:13-14
