Hindrances Limit Success

We all know what sins are, but let me focus for a moment on hindrances. Hindrances are those things that may not be sins, but still keep you from living a life totally surrendered to God. Imagine you are at a track meet, and they’re lining up for the 100 meter dash. Everything’s fine except for one contestant. Instead of the regular shorts and track shoes, he’s wearing a snowmobile suit and galoshes. Now that’s probably not against the rules, but he’s not going to win, if he even survives the race. The clothes are a hindrance to his success. Take an inventory of your life to see if there are any hindrances to your walk with God. (Source Unknown, Lou Nicholes - Missionary/Author).
