There is a reason Paul and the writer of Hebrews repeatedly refer to life as a race, a journey requiring perseverance, strength, and, above all, the help of the Spirit.[18] The race is long, but when we dedicate our next steps, our choices, our decisions, our very lives to the Lord, He will give us what we need. He will equip us for what is ahead, all the while holding the end in His loving hands.
