Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1
Recently I spent about an hour purging old email and things I had let clutter my life electronically and what a good feeling it was to be free of junk not needed.
Similarly to when you clean your garage or attic and force yourself to part with things you know the surviving relatives are not going to want when you leave this Earth. Your spiritual life could use some dusting up and tossing out as well.
Do you cling to things you know you have been forgiven of or get stuck on some thought you have no business thinking? Today’s verse says to get rid of sin that so easily entangles. The enemy knows your weak points and will continue to dangle the ‘sin carrot’ in front of you hoping you will go for it. Continue to run your race tossing off old sin and accepting God’s forgiveness.
PRAYER: Sin is a part of every human’s life ever since creation, but I don’t have to continue sinning when I know the right path to take. Make things crystal clear and I know the Holy Spirit guides me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Becky: This is so very important to do. As time draws closer, we need to practice this more and more. Peace and blessings.
