Heb 12:1 ESV
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
Sometimes you read something that is very timely for your life. This is one of those times. It isn't that I have been trapped some 10 commandment type sin, but there is a weight that is on me (us) that comes from within. That weight comes from an attitude of "I want what that I don't get". It is killing me and weighing me down and producing ungratefulness for the many blessings that I do have. The expectation of everything going smooth without problems or trials is deadly! We have got to get that out of us!
Heb 12:12-13 ESV
Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed.
It is time to get our eyes off ourselves and strengthen ourselves with our view of Jesus. He was tough!! He was not easily shaken by trial and endured all kinds of disappointment. Scream wth me - I want to be like you Jesus!
Hebrews 12:28-29 ESV
Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.
