…… Can’t run this race with those “cement boots”!
“We have all these great people around us as examples. Their lives tell us what faith means. So we, too, should run the race that is before us and never quit. We should remove from our lives anything that would slow us down and the sin that so often makes us fall.” Hebrews 12:1 (ERV)
“Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins.” Hebrews 12:1
In many instances we turned from the sin – but we are still carrying too much excess “baggage”. It’s time for an upgrade. Let’s kick it up a notch. In this season God is requiring a lifestyle of: discipline, integrity and diligence.
Can you identify the “cement boots” in your spiritual life? God is daily revealing them to you. Whatever or whomever He is attempting to strip from you - don’t try to cling on it or them. Let them go! Trust God!
When we fully trust Him – we will obey Him.
