The race •

    Do you ever feel like you are being weighed down, or held back? Maybe you feel like your sin is weighing you down to where you feel like you can’t even walk. Or maybe it’s a burden that has been laid on you that is to heavy to bear. Well one question that I want you to ask yourself is, is this affecting how you’re running your race? Is it slowing you down or holding you back from truly seeking God wholeheartedly.
    Sometimes in life we have to tell our burdens to other people have an accountability partner who’s there to listen when we just need to get something off of our chest. Whether it be a best friend or even a parent someone you can talk to who can help you carry that burden so you’re not alone. Someone who will help you get through your hard times the right way. Someone who can Help take some of the burden so it’s not so hard on you.The Bible tells us that we were supposed to take one another’s burdens.

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6:2‬ ‭

    Not only can we talk to others who we trust but there’s someone who will always be there to take our burdens away from us. That’s God. He tells us in the Bible that we can cast all of our worries, our cares, our burdens, and all of our anxieties on him because he cares for us. He died for us so that we wouldn’t have to carry all that he wants us to give our burdens to him so we don’t have to carry them. God died for us because he cares for us he chose us so let’s choose to put all of our worries in our burdens behind us and give them to God.

“casting all your anxiety upon him, because he careth for you.”1 Peter‬ ‭5:7‬ 

    So I’m gonna go back to the first question that I asked you how are you running your race. Are you walking, are you jogging, are you running your race with endurance full speed on fire for God. My challenge for everyone today is if you have sin in your life that is holding you back or holding you down give it to God. Go to God and lay your sin down before him. Give God your everything. Because he gave everything for you. Run your race with endurance seek God with all you have.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.” Hebrews‬ ‭12:1‬ ‭
