What are you dragging?


Isaiah 5: 18-19

18 What sorrow for those who drag their sins behind them
with ropes made of lies,
who drag wickedness behind them like a cart!
19 They even mock God and say,
“Hurry up and do something!
We want to see what you can do.
Let the Holy One of Israel carry out his plan,
for we want to know what it is.”.


Be careful what you are dragging around with you. It could be the fuel for your own fire. Just like the guy in this picture. In reading Isaiah 5: 18-19 those who drag wickedness behind them in a cart and mock God hopefully most all of us can separate ourselves from that. However it’s verse 18 that most of us should be aware of. What sorrow awaits those who drag their sins behind them with ropes made of lies. Any time you justify something you do or don’t do as being okay or not that bad you just lied and from then on are just dragging it behind you. As it says there is sorrow for those who drag their sins behind them. The only way to lighten the load is to admit to your sins and repent of them. Then Jesus will take them from you forever and you don’t have to drag them around anymore.
