Is There \u2018Junk\u2019 In Your Life?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Picture a big ship being worked on in dry dock. Beneath the waterline is all the \u2018junk\u2019 it has picked up during its voyages. Nobody can see it, but an experienced captain can feel it because his ship lacks the \u2018oomph\u2019 it once had. As a result, companies complain that it takes too long to get goods for their customers, and the ship\u2019s owners are unhappy because it hurts profit margin in a competitive market. The effort required to remove the \u2018junk\u2019 is back-breaking and time-consuming, but there\u2019s no other way to do it. Finally, after months of hard work the dry dock is flooded with water, the gates open, and the big vessel heads out to sea and back into the profit column. Writing to the believers at Corinth, Paul says,\u00a0\u2018Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves\u2019 (2 Corinthians 13:5).\u00a0Let\u2019s be honest; it\u2019s easier to examine your neighbor than to examine yourself, or to talk about what you once accomplished rather than what you\u2019re accomplishing now. Are you slowing down? Are you losing spiritual momentum? Are you in the profit or loss column? You\u2019ll find the answer under the waterline where only God and you can see. Carelessness, a critical spirit, compromise, conformity to the world, and coldness of heart: that\u2019s the \u2018junk\u2019 that builds up and slows you down. These are the subtle sins you must deal with in order to be everything God called you to be and enjoy the blessings He has in store for you.<\/p>\n

Prayer: \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Heavenly Father, help me \u201cget rid\u201d of the things in my life that are holding me back in growing and developing as a child of Yours. <\/strong><\/p>\n

In Jesus\u2019 Name, Amen<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
