Hebrews 12:1b "Let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us."
We have a race to run. It's God's plan for us. But there are some things that can hurt our Christian walk. They are like heavy weights that slow us down.
- hanging out with the wrong kids
- having wrong ambitions
- having bad attitudes
- having bad addictions
- having bad entertainment
In order to run my race better, I need to get rid of some heavy weights: bitterness, worry, impatience, eating too many foods that aren't good for my body. These things are just weighting me down and keeping me from serving God better.
How about you?
Are there any weights that you need to get rid of? Feel free to share, if you want to. Your comment may encourage another kid who is reading this post.
