Travel Light
LISTEN
“Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press
on, that I may lay hold of  that for which Christ Jesus has also laid
hold of me.”
—Philippians 3:12
I don’t know about you, but I always take too much stuff with me when I
travel. I have a bag with  wheels, and no matter what size it is, I’ll
still manage to fill it up. I don’t even need  everything I put into
it. And then I drag around my bag on wheels.
Some of us are like that in life. We’re just wheeling our burdens
around. We take them with us  everywhere, but we need to cast those
things aside. The Bible tells us to “strip off every weight  that slows
us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up” (Hebrews 12:1 NLT).
The J. B. Phillips New Testament renders it this way: “Let us strip off
everything that hinders us,  as well as the sin which dogs our feet.”
In other words, we need to cast aside the sin and weight  that holds us back.
And sometimes what slows one person down won’t necessarily slow another
person down. For instance,  some people have a metabolism that allows
them to eat anything they want and never gain weight. I  don’t have
that kind of metabolism. I did when I was in my 20s, but I don’t anymore.
So the weight that slows us down can vary from person to person. But
sin is sin, and you know what  may dull your spiritual appetite. You
know what issues can distract you from your faith. You know  what
relationship will pull you down spiritually. And you certainly know
what God doesn’t want you  to be involved in.
Maybe today you’re carrying a lot of weight, and I don’t mean physical
weight. I’m talking about  burdens, hardships, difficulties, and
problems you’re dragging around.
Lay aside the things that are holding you back. And keep your eyes on Jesus.
