…Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. Hebrews 12:1 Some of us like to drag a lot of stuff with us when we travel. Some keep a lot of old unnecessary document in our office drawers. Others store a lot of junk in our homes. In all these situations we occupy ourselves with stuff we dont need. In the same way, in running the race of life, we tend to drag along a lot of excess baggage and fill our minds with stuff we dont need. We drag along a lot of past pain, frustration, bitterness and rejection which weigh us down and make our journey more and more stressful. Life is tough by itself without our help but it gets tougher when we add our excess baggage to it. But notice that the Bible tells us to lay aside every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily hinders our progress. What are the things weighing you down in life? As you begin a New Year, lay aside those weights and allow God to lift you to new heights. There might be something that is a weight in your life that may not necessarily be a weight in anothers life. The key is not to look for the weights in other people’s lives but to look at the weights in your own life. Take stock of your life and look at the things you are doing with your time. Ask yourself the question Is this habit or attitude an unnecessary excess baggage? Is it slowing me down? Is it poisoning my mood? Is it keeping me bound to the past? Check your baggage today and get rid of all excess weights. God wants to take you higher dont weigh yourself down with unnecssary baggage. Have a great week!
