Bible Verse of The Day – 1-7-22

Isaiah 40:28-29 (NKJV) 28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. 29 He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.

Sometimes the things we face in life, or even the things we spend time thinking about, can make us feel weak. They pull on us and make us weary from the thinking.

This is a normal part of being human. We are flesh and bone, with weaknesses and frailties.

If we try to bear everything that we come up against, it won’t be long before we’re completely worn down and ready to give up, throwing in the towel and surrendering to whatever it is that we are battling against.

Thankfully we don’t have to bear these things alone. God wants to help us with them. He wants us to learn to bring these things to Him and give them to Him instead of trying to pretend that we’re superhuman and invincible.

None of us is invincible; not a single one.

Jesus was our example. Despite His ability to heal the sick, deliver from demons and raise the dead, He too was frail in His humanity. He grew tired at times.

But the difference was that He knew when to pull away, spend time with the Father, and give His burdens to Him. It was this that gave Him the strength to face everything that He needed to face.

And by doing so, He overcame the enemy and the schemes that were being carried out against Him.

It’s time for us to learn from Jesus, following His lead, making sure we pull away and spend time with the Father, casting our cares upon Him.

1 Peter 5:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-25-19

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

Let it out.

We need to open our mouth in prayer and release what we have been carrying.

Whatever you are going through, or helping someone go through, the weight of it must be released or surrendered to God.

If we try to carry it, it will mess with us and interfere with the things we need to continue on in.

Just recently I spent a week helping someone get through a bad situation. I know that only God knew what I was dealing with. The person themselves had no idea what was going on in the atmosphere around them.

I don’t even think I fully comprehend most of what was happening. But I could feel the weight of it, and it was heavy.

When it was over, I was in prayer the next day, and what I felt come off me or my spirit man was sadness and sorrow. I had never felt this to such a degree as I felt it that day. But, thank God He was there. And I left it at His feet.

He is faithful to lift the weight of what we are going through or what we may be helping others go through. After we have helped with our part, it’s important to remember to let go or release it all to God, and be free from it.

Some of us have never been taught to release it. But it is a necessity. And if we don’t release it, we will feel the weight, the numbness, the constant dwelling on it. It can even bring confusion at times.

It’s not ours to carry. Let it go.

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

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-22-15

Matthew 11:28 (NKJV) 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Are you tired? Are the worries and cares of life dragging you down?

How about sin? Are you caught up in sin that’s causing you to feel guilty or condemned?

We all have things that we wrestle with. Sometimes it might be financial burdens. Sometimes it might be things that we’re tempted by.

Sometimes we don’t even know why we’re feeling worn out. We just know that we’re tired and it feels like we’re about to collapse.

Jesus said He came to give us rest. Will you trust Him? Will you take those burdens and place them at His feet?

We often teach people that our sins and our cares can be like an invisible backpack that we carry around. Every time we mess up, a new rock gets placed in that backpack. Every time we doubt God or feel condemned by the enemy, another rock gets tossed into that backpack. Anger, bitterness and unforgiveness can also put more rocks in there too.

Before we know it, we’re carrying around a lot of extra weight that we were not meant to carry. And it wears us out.

So, today, let’s take that backpack off and lay it at the feet of Jesus and leave it there. Permanently.

Come to Jesus, all you who are tired and burdened down. He will give you rest.
