Bearing Burdens via Being Led

For each one shall bear his own load.
Galatians 6:5 NKJV

*We have a responsibility to represent God in everyway, including in our actions and thought process. However, as you deal with people, be mindful to use the wisdom of God. Every person you include in your life becomes a part of your responsibilities, and vice versa. You want to make sure that you're not including the wrong people, taking on burdens that people should be giving to God, or being unequally yoked in any type of connection. This will help us balance life, and keep the right company. May what you go through in life be a reflection of God's plan, and not your own doing or poor choice in connections.

God's Got It

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. I Peter 5:8‭-‬9 NKJV

*Honestly, it doesn't give me comfort to know others suffer like me, but it is a reminder that there is no problem that is new to God...There is also nothing He can't handle, and deliver us from...

Distractions Don't Compare to Promise

Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” Mark 10:46‭-‬48 NKJV

*When others try to silence your belief in Christ and His capabilities, get louder so they can realize you are not controlled by them...Also, so they can witness the miracle that the principalities in them don't want you to have! Be free from opinions, and only guided by God and faith.

Remember Whose You Are...

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. Isaiah 43:2 NKJV

*God is our source and our protection. We have to work on realizing that if God is for us, who can be against us? He never fails, and through the good or bad, He never leaves or forsakes us. Let go of fear, and give thanks to God while trusting in Him.

Going in the Right Direction

Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. Psalms 119:105 NKJV

*God always makes sure we do not stumble, or travel in the wrong direction if we just trust Him. Even when I wonder whether or not I am still going in the right direction, I have to remember to stop allowing confusion to be a distraction and follow His light. I'm so thankful for God's guidance, even when I am unsure of the destination or more arrival time.
