Time to Strip the Weight

"Let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily hinders our progress. And let us run with endurance the race that God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from start to finish." Hebrews 12:1-2


Sometimes, okay most of the time, God's Word speaks for itself. It does not need to be broken down, or explained in any more detail than it already is. All that is needed is for us to store it, digest it, and then let the Holy Spirit work within us.


Jesus make this verse come alive within me. I have grown weary in running, and I know it is because of the added weight I have taken on. Forgive me for weighing myself down with sin and things of this world. Reveal to me all that needs to be stripped so I can remove it and continue to run the race. Amen
