2 Chronicles 29:11

My sons, do not be negligent now; for the Lord has chosen you to stand before Him and serve Him, to minister before Him and to burn incense.

Adding pop cans





I saw a guy struggling to ride his bike in the rain.  The poncho he wore, to keep the water away, was flapping in the wind and creating more difficulty than help.  The faster he pedaled, the more the poncho flew.  Hopefully he arrived at his destination and found relief from the downpour.

The funny thing about this guy was that in the midst of his rainy bike ride, he was holding a pop can and occasionally trying to drink it. This added item seemed to disrupt his balance and slow him down.  All I could think was, "He's making this so much harder than it has to be." 

Making my way through this world is hard enough.  Is there anything I'm holding onto that, if thrown aside, would make things a whole lot easier?
