595 // Are You Running Your Race or Someone Else’s? A Reminder to Keep Your Eyes on Jesus (Bible Study and Devotional)

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode begins with a reminder that God’s commands are not restrictions meant to hold us back, but loving protections that keep us safe and draw us closer to Him.

We continue our study of 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 with a recap, remembering that our trials are temporary, but His eternal glory outweighs them all, and we’re called to fix our eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen.

Finally, we close the week with Christine Caine’s You’re Not Finished Yet, focusing on the importance of running our own race with endurance and keeping our eyes on Jesus.

If you’ve ever wrestled with discouragement, distraction, or comparison, this episode will remind you to return to your “why,” rest in God’s promises, and walk forward in obedience with renewed courage and hope.

As always, may the rest of your day be the best of your day!

Love y'all! 💕
