“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.” (HEBREWS 12:1, NLT)
I’m someone who tends to pack a lot when I travel, even though I’ve been traveling for years. Despite knowing that excess baggage complicates and adds hassle and expense to travel, I still overpack. Similarly, in life, we often carry unnecessary burdens that slow us down. The author of Hebrews urges us to shed these burdens, especially sins, which can trip us up and impede our spiritual progress.
As a Christian, I periodically reflect on how I spend my time. I ask myself, “Does this activity lift me up spiritually or weigh me down? Does it fuel my spiritual growth or hinder it?” We often fill our days with tasks that seem important but might not be necessary. We should assess if these tasks slow us down or distract us from our spiritual journey.
Let go of the weight and sins that hinder your progress.
