5 for Mile 18 of the Marathon!

1. PRAISE is a "seam ripper" when troubles hem me in (Romans 5:3-4)*
2. TRUST your training (Hebrews 12:1-3)
3. STAY THE COURSE (Philippians 3:10-14)
4. VICTORY is not an outcome to be achieved, but steps to follow (2 Corinthians 2:14)
5. Results are GUARANTEED (Isaiah 46:8-11)

* There's more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we're hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we're never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary—we can't round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit! Romans 5:3-5 The Message
