Hebrews
12:1
"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...." NIV
"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..." KJV
If we are honest
with ourselves, we can identify people, activities, and things in our lives that
hinder us, worry us, or get us tangled up in distraction. Our walk with the Lord
is the most strongly affected by these things. Rather than make New Year's
resolutions that will generally last about a week, this is a good time to let go
of people and things that have a negative pull on our lives and hinder our walk
with God. If we do so, we can run the race set before us with patience and
endurance so that we will win the prize of a God-lived life with crowns to lay
at His feet.
Heavenly Father,
we thank You and praise You for the lives You have given us. Help us to search
our own lives and to let go of people, activities, and other things that hinder
our walk with You. Help us to look toward Your Son, Jesus Christ so that we will
run the course right into His arms. In His name we pray, Amen.
