Hebrews 12:1 admonishes Christians to “…Lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily ensnares us. Let us run with endurance the race that lies before us.”
Many times those weights are simple distractions that create
enormous drag.
One preacher illustrated it this way: “It’s perfectly legal
to run a race in army boots.”
He said it wasn’t wise & would guarantee
failure, but you can legally do it. Many of the things that prevent spiritual
growth & development are legal; they just don’t lead to success.

“Do today's duty, fight today's temptation; do not weaken
and distract yourself by looking forward to things you cannot see, and could
not understand if you saw them.” -
Charles Kingsley.
