“Limp Hands And Feeble Knees”

Hebrews 12:1-12

Hebrews 12:12  ”Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down,

                            and the feeble knees”.

Causes of this condition:

1. 12:1 “let us lay aside every weight”

       Luke 21:34  “But take heed ...lest your hearts be weighted down

         with ...drunkenness and cares of this life”

         Luke 12:22  “...do not worry about your life”

2. 12:1 “and the sin which so easily ensnares us”

       Galatians 5:16-17  “The flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit

           against the flesh”

    12:3  “For consider Him...lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls”

3. 12:5  “do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor be discouraged

       when you are rebuked by Him”

    12:11  “No chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but grievous; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of

       righteousness by it”.

Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees”!
