Let
us lay aside every weight. Hebrews
12:1
Dictionary.com
defines weight as the amount or quantity of heaviness or mass; amount a thing
weighs.
What are you carrying that is weighing you down and
troubling your heart? A wayward child, difficulty on the job, or a loveless
marriage.
We all have troubling circumstances, but we can run
into trouble when we begin to bear the heaviness of these burdens. There are
times that we can focus solely on our
problems and not lay them down for Jesus to carry. If our thoughts are kept on
the distressing circumstance we can lose our joy and peace as well as suffer a
host of physical and emotional problems.
“Laying aside” is a powerful command that changes our perspective.
When you lay something aside it is still
there but you don’t focus on it.
Reflect:
Are
you fretting, worrying, or over-analyzing your problems? What heavy burdens do
you need to lay down?
