Bible Verse of The Day – 6-27-20

Matthew 11:30 (NKJV) 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

When God deals with something on the inside of us, He removes it. It’s gone.

It doesn’t mean we don’t remember what happened. It just means that He makes it so we don’t carry the burden of it any longer. He makes it easy on us.

Are we letting Him completely deal with our stuff? Or are we pretending?

We do that sometimes. We give it over with our words, but in our heart we don’t let it fully go.

Let’s break it down.

One day when we are tired, we say, “Lord take this from me and deal with it accordingly. I can’t anymore”.

Then, on another occasion, maybe we are feeling a little better, little stronger, or maybe a little feistier, so we try and “help” Him move a little quicker by sticking our noses in and doing it our way.

What is that?

That is saying, “Lord, I gave it to you on Sunday, but Monday I’m taking it back”. That is saying, “Lord You are not moving fast enough for me”. That is saying, “Lord I don’t really trust that You are going to deal with it because you have more important things on Your plate, so maybe I need to tend to it myself”.

When God deals with something, it’s over for good. But when we try to deal with it, we are back and forth with our emotions. It’s not complete. There will always be fragments in there that we missed.

Let Him have the whole thing and watch how He gets rid of it for good. Carry only what He wants us to carry. Walk and live light.

1 Peter 5:7 (NKJV) 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
