Day 2 Let us lay aside every weight
Day 2
Topic: Let us lay aside every weight
Hebrews 12
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,
Let us lay aside every weight that burdens us, so that we can run the race we have ahead of us. When sin becomes a lifestyle, it becomes a weight that drags our body, mind and soul down to an abyss. We cannot praise or worship God because we feel a burden on our shoulders; it is as a strange and evil force of gravity that pulls us down. In 2 Samuel 24:10 David gave the order to take a census of the people; only it later weighed heavy on his heart “… and David’s heart condemned him after he had numbered the people…” and, “God was displeased …” (1 Chr. 21:7).
Are you feeling the force of gravity from sin? The first thing you must do is recognize your fall before God. It does not matter how great your sin was; today I call upon you to let go of that burden that does not let you move forward. Ask for forgiveness and to also forgive. Sin afflicts the soul; leave your burdens at the foot of the cross, and there you will find healing.

Today God wants you to also be rid of the spiritual weight that sin produces.
Pray with me
Heavenly Father, I come before You. I repent my sins, and today I start my life without any of the spiritual weight that tries to hold me down. In Jesus Name Amen!
