I’m sure you’ve seen those people who walk around hunched over and looking down as if they can not lift themself up at all. There are cases when it is because of a physical disability, but those are not the cases I’m referring to. I’m talking about the ones that are bent over because of the stress on their shoulders. They even go to the doctor and ask what is wrong, and he says that it is just stress, and prescribes them a pill to help numb them.
Unfortunately there is no pill or drug or earthly treatment for such heaviness. Only the power of God can relieve this person from the frustration they are experiencing.
Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
(2 Corinthians 3:17)
Liberty is what each person is in need of, who feels stressed and overwhelmed. You need the burden lifted. That will never happen away from God. No matter what you do in the world, or what temporary pleasure you experience. It will never take the weight of frustration off of your shoulders. But when God enters inside of you with His peace and strength, the weight will be removed.
He wants to get the weight off of your back, but He needs you to take action against the cause of this weight. Be willing to do what is difficult and uncomfortable in order to provoke a change in your life. That’s what sacrifice is and that’s what changes a persons life and brings true liberty.
May the God of the Bible bless you
