Let Jesus Carry You to Good Pastures
“Bel bows down. Nebo stoops. Their idols are carried by animals, and on the livestock. The things that you carried around are heavy loads, a burden for the weary. They stoop and they bow down together. They could not deliver the burden, but they have gone into captivity. “Listen to me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that have been carried from their birth, that have been carried from the womb. Even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear. Yes, I will carry, and will deliver.” (Isaiah 46:1-4 WEB)
When you make an idol in your heart, you will have to carry the heavy burden of it, always needing to upkeep it by your own strength.
For example if you spend a lifetime chasing worldly success by your own strength, you will be burnt out and suffer collateral damage along the way such as harming your health and estranging your relationships.
However when you trust in Jesus, He will carry you throughout your life. Don’t struggle little lamb, just rest on His strong shoulders and trust that He will carry you to good pastures.
He can give you true abundant life—wholesome success that doesn’t compromise any areas of your life. His will is for you to prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.
Your soul (mind, will and emotions) prospers when you constantly fill yourself with God’s word.
Hear and receive messages filled with God’s love demonstrated through Jesus’ finished work at the cross.
The true Gospel teaches you to walk by the Spirit and not by the flesh.
When you do that, you are allowing Jesus to carry you.
Just like flowing downstream in a mighty river, you will advance further and faster than you can ever go by yourself!
