Today's verse is Hebrews 12:1-2 with Amanda Idleman.
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
We have to grow our faith from that little mustard seed on from there. We have to take simple steps of obedience over and over. We have to practice living with the fruits of the Spirit so that it becomes a part of our character and who we are.
