… 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. (Hebrews 12:1 KJV biblestudytools.com) A weight is that which is heavy. A weight does not have to be carried in your arms. It may weigh heavy upon your heart. A weight can be based on good things holding you to the past (Accomplishments). A weight can be bad things/ situations that have occurred (Failures), or anything in between. Weights hold us in a state, condition, or position (immobilizing). Let us take off those things that weigh us down, that they may not cause us to sin. Amen.
