1. By running in this race with our eyes on Jesus Christ! (Heb 12:1-3) – “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Jesus did not quit! Jesus persevered. Until His last breath on earth He finished faithful as our Redeemer. As we look to Him, He both motivates us and empowers us to persevere. How are you doing?

2. By keeping a good attitude! (Phil 4:8) – “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

You have heard it said, “Our attitude control our altitude”! A negative attitude results in a negative lifestyle; i.e. a quitter.
How is your attitude? Change your thinking. Think right.

3. By not quitting! (Gal 6:9) – “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”

When we over do it we get weary. Stress, pressure, along with cares of this world can overwhelm us and cause us to be incapacitated. You know. Right? Perseverance is the key. In other words, we have to pace ourselves in this very demanding society in order to stay useable. Where are you at?
