Week 2: Running the Race Before Us

"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 set before us." - Hebrews 12:1 (NKJV)

Most of us made New Year's Resolutions 2010 to lose weight, to be healthy.  It's almost September and how many of us have frequented restaurants more than the gym that we happily enrolled in at the beginning of the year.   In a world we're are pupils are drenched with the need to look a certain way or weigh a certain amount it's a Spiritual physique that we should be worried about.  In Hebrews 12:1 there is weight we have to lose and sin that is ensnaring our physique.  My question is what weight are you now laying aside?  On the bright side in the beginning of the verse we see that we are surrounded by a cloud of witnesses (other Christians) to pull us through those things that are weighing us down and ensnaring us.  There is a race set before us, how well are you running?
