In Hebrews chapter 12, verse 1 the author likens this verse to a race. The NLT version reads as such: 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.  

The Challenge

So, I want to challenge you, the listeners; we know that it is impossible to please God without faith; we want to avoid “the sin” that so easily trips us up, which is unbelief; because we know that unbelief means you lack faith, and consequently in the book of James 2:14 he wrote that faith without works is dead.

So, this challenge is for you the listener to identify the weights/distractions/hindrances that have gotten in the way of your race. 

When you identify them write them down, on a piece of paper and then ball it up and throw it in the trash as an act of faith; as if you are giving this hindrance to God.

Ps 55: 22 says to cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you. Finally, Trust that God will see you through.

Ps 56:3 says When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. 

That’s it! That is your exercise! Because if we continue to hold on to our weights or hindrances, before we know it, we will be so entangled, we won’t even realize that we are headed for “the sin” unbelief.
