Hebrews 12:15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled. 

One of the major thing that will help you run diligently is your focus on the goal. In verse one of this chapter twelve, the major point here is your focus on Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith. If you don't want the grace to fail, keep your eye on the word of His grace given to you. 

Matthew 14:28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

Circumstances are not your problem, it is your focus. The question is, what are focusing on, it the determinant factor to your floating or sinking. Faith makes you float and walk on water, doubt sinks. Peter was not sinking because of the storm but because his eyes was off the One who asked him to come. 

Peter and John met a cripple man at the gate called beautiful, they told the man to look on them first. What can you see in the word? That word should take your focus. If God promise you in His word something, even when you are seeing manifestation, keep your focus on the promise, that's where your safety is and progressive manifestation.
