Topic: Laying Aside The Weights Of Life [Friday May 25, 2018]
Scripture: Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses,”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. Hebrew 12:1
Thought For The Day: Weight limits speed in life; weight weighs down your destiny.
Weight is a burden; it weighs a person down, wears out life and slows down the speed of destiny.
Many people are not where God wants them to be in life because of an unclear conscience. An unclear conscience is a conscience laden with the weight of sin, guilt, bitterness, malice, etc. They sleep and wake up with guilt. Our anchor Scripture admonishes us to lay aside every weight and the sins that easily besets us. Iniquity is a weight; guilt is a weight and weight is the enemy of speed. There can be no speed in your life as long as there is weight in your life. Weight limits speed in life; weights weigh down your life and destiny.
When you, for instance, live with a woman that you have not married, you are carrying a terrible weight of iniquity on your life. This weight of iniquity also includes working with a certificate you did not earn, using a false age declaration to work, watching ungodly movies, the lifestyle of drinking alcohol, etc.
If you want to go far on earth, and if you want to make it to eternity with God in heaven, you must drop your weights.
Beloved, God wants to take you far in this world; He wants you to end your journey with Him in eternity if you give Him the chance in your life. Surrender your life to God and let Him remove every weight from your life.
Remember this: Weight limits speed in life; weight weighs down your destiny.
