what easily besets you?

Hebrews 12 says "Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin that doth so easily beset us." That was a scripture that was part of my devotion this morning. As I pored over this verse, I realized that gluttony is the sin that so easily besets me. But even more than that, is the sin of putting ANYTHING before God. For me, I have learned to take comfort in food, instead of God. This part of my journey focuses on getting my thoughts and desires in line with God's thoughts and desires for me.

So each time I considered going into the classroom across the hallway to get some chocolate, I set aside the sin that was trying to easily beset me. And I found my own chocolate.....in smaller amounts....
