Go Through It, You Got This!

“Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.” Jesus knew the joy of victory that was on the other side of the shame He had to endure. His sights were set on the prize that lay just beyond the death of the cross. Many times we get so lost in all the smoke of the crisis we’re dealing with we aren’t mindful of God delivering us at the moment. Jesus knew the Father God would bring Him through the task He had to fulfill. We must learn to despise the shame of our battle and to press forward in victory knowing God has our backs, and He won’t allow more on us than we can handle. Learn to look away from all that will distract you from staying in the battle until it is finished in victory. Since God is for you, who can successfully be against you, no one. Go through it, you got this!
