Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto JESUS, the author and finisher of our faith who for the joy that was set before HIM endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of GOD-Heb 12:1-2
Weights that ensnare us could be thoughts, actions, attitudes or words. Runners don't burden themselves with unneeded weights. You cant run a race well when you have a bunch of suitcases and bags to carry. These are the things GOD wants to carry for us.
We must be changed on a daily basis. It may sound overly simplistic, but continuing change in the Christian life comes from spending time with God.In Exodus 33:13, Moses prayed to the Lord, "If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so that I may know you...".We began our relationship with God by saying a simple prayer. Now, to deepen that relationship, like Moses, we must ask Him to teach us about Himself. It's easy to have a shallow relationship with someone. You can know someone's name, age, and where they live, but not really know him or her. Fellowship is what deepens a relationship, and there is no such thing as "fast fellowship." In a world of fast food and instant-everything, we must realize that we can't have fast fellowship with God. It won't happen. If you really want to get to know someone, you've got to spend time with that person. To truly get to know God, you need to spend time with Him. And as you do, you'll want to inquire about His nature—what He's genuinely like. And that begins with a sincere prayer.
* Look its time for the one who has been in the wait for long enough. When the Lord is about to move in your life, catch up with Him and inherit the blessing.
