Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us. (Hebrews 12:1)

God has big plans and great rewards for you. However, you can lose out on these, by letting yourself get weighed down by the things of this world and by sin. What is holding you back from the upward call of God? What is preventing you from keeping the faith? Think about how you are spending your time. Find out where you are wasting time and how you could be using that time to seek God and serve Him. ~ Jeff M Newman
