Burdens Left Behind
Hebrews 12:1
Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.
Thought:
Just as we pack things unnecessarily for trips or vacations sometimes, we often carry burdens we don’t need in the same manner. These weights; old lifestyles, habits, and sins, slow down our spiritual progress. Evaluate what you’re carrying in your life today. What do you need to let go of to run, walk or live more freely with God? Embrace the freedom Christ offers by shedding the unnecessary. Let your past be a teacher, not a chain!
Prayer:
Father, reveal to me the burdens I carry unnecessarily. Give me the courage to release them at Your altar, that I might run unhindered towards Your promises. Thank You for Your continual grace in my life. In Jesus' name, Amen.
