If there is one thing Sony has consistently shown over the years, it is their penchant for making a “slim version” of their system in each console generation. While it may seem more expensive and counter-productive to create a system and then release a moderately similar slim version a few short years later, they have a good reason for this… after launching each of their consoles they took the time to evaluate which features were necessary, which were rarely used, and which components could be replaced with more cost-efficient yet still effective alternatives. The result? A system that kept all the strengths of its predecessor and eliminated “dead weight” items that cost more than they were worth, resulting in a leaner, meaner, and slimmer fighting machine.
In our Christian walk we will often find ourselves guided by the Spirit to “shed the weight” of items that are holding us back from fulfilling the full potential of our destiny… and while these areas marked for “slimming” may not necessarily have an obvious negative impact on our life, they still represent time and energy that could be applied towards pursuits of higher value. Let’s put those things behind us that prevent us from running at full speed… past regrets, present temptations, and even future dreams that don’t align with His will. He called it the “narrow way” for a reason.
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. Hebrews 12:1
Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ. Philippians 3:8
