Dropping the Stones
Thursday: Dropping the Stones
Reading: Hebrews 12:1-3
Devotional: Imagine running a race with a backpack full of rocks—that's how many believers live. We carry guilt, shame, past failures, unforgiveness, and fear, wondering why our spiritual lives feel so heavy. God never intended this. The writer of Hebrews urges us to throw off everything that hinders and the sin that entangles. When Jesus rolled away the stone from His tomb, He made a way for every stone in your life to be removed. Baptism symbolizes this—leaving the old life behind, rising to newness. What weighs you down? What slows your race? Jesus stands ready to lift those burdens. The lightness that comes when you release that weight is extraordinary. You'll feel like you're barely touching the ground, free to run the race marked out for you.
Reflection Question: What specific "rocks" am I carrying that Jesus wants to remove from my life today?
