a great cloud

" Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God."-Hebrews 12:1-2

I used to think that the great saints who had gone before us watch us as life played out and that they were in the heavenly grandstands cheering us on. I came to realize that they set an example of walking and living by faith. The life of faith has been tested and proven true by many and we should know that the faith walk is the correct walk.

Abba Father, thank You and the Christians who walked before me that show me the walk and life of faith. They are great examples of what faith looks like.- Amen!
