WE CONSERVE ENERGY TOGETHER
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. (Hebrews 12:1 NLT)
The majority of us get wasted away by problems, and we tend to be less patient, we lose joy, etc. Because it is not easy to go through difficulties alone, it’s not good. So, how can we conserve our energy in the midst of a crisis?
Ridding ourselves of all weight. The burden can be sin, stress, worries about problems, etc. Those things do not allow us to run nor advance. But, remember that there are many people who have gone through the same thing as you and God did a miracle in their lives! Get rid of that burden and begin to run the race!
How do we get rid of every weight? Today we will learn two ways and tomorrow one more.
- Doing less. Difficulties will take up your time. That’s why we should choose what to do and what not to do. Example, when a family member is in the hospital, they can’t live their lives as normal. They cannot do everything.
Example: not putting in extra hours at work, saying no to TV, etc. Get rid of all weight when going through crises, but don’t leave God because He is who sustains you.
2. Limiting toxic people. There are people who give you strength, but also people who wear you out. Don’t spend time with people who drain you, problematic and negative people because they will wear you away. Only answer texts that will bless you, etc
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. (Hebrews 12:1 NLT)
To be continued…
Think about it:
Have you felt unenergetic because of problems?
What unnecessary things do you need to leave behind that wear you away?
What toxic people that don’t edify you do you need to part from?
