Hebrews 11-12

And we desire for each one of you to show the same diligence so as to realize and enjoy the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you will not be (spiritually) sluggish, but (will instead be) imitators of those who through faith (lean on God with absolute trust and confidence in Him and His power) and by patient endurance are now inheriting the promises.

We must keep our focus on the word and not the world. The world will disappoint and wear our spirit down if we listen to all of the negative voices from the news, opinions, and crime. The rapid change is easier to endure when Jesus and the Word are forefront in our daily lives. Now is not the time to become sluggish but to revitalize our relationship with God.
