Let Us Strip Off Every Weight
That Slows Us Down,
Especially The Sin That So Easily Trips Us Up
Summer can be a time when this race of faith turns into a
slow crawl. During these “dog days” of summer we can become weighed down with
sin. Lets not let happen! Call a friend. Meet with them and let them hold you
accountable during the few weeks left of summer. Lets get back in the race.
Scripture
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, 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. 2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.
Observation
We start out good! We have dreams! We are living the life
of faith. Things are good!
We are heading in the right direction!
And then sin trips us up!
All of a sudden we are heading in the wrong direction and
life stinks!
God says that this life of faith is a race of endurance.
We must keep our eyes on the finish line. We must keep our eyes on Jesus. He is
the Champion of our faith.
Summer can be a time when this race of faith turns into a
slow crawl. During these “dog days” of summer we can become weighed down with
sin.
Lets not let happen! Call a friend. Meet with them and
let them hold you accountable during the few weeks left of summer. Lets get
back in the race.
Fall is coming! Lets get in spiritual shape now for what
lies ahead!
Application
I
will meet with men this week and let them hold me accountable. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me run this life of faith in a way that pleases You. Don’t let me
mess up and get bogged down with stupid sins, stupid sins that weigh me down.
Help me finish well.
