Crushing Weights & Daily Packs
Crushing Weights & Daily Packs
Tuesday
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. For each will have to bear his own load.
— Galatians 6:2-5 (ESV)
— Galatians 6:2-5 (ESV)
Scripture distinguishes between the burdens we carry for each other and the loads we must carry alone. The crushing weight, the unbearable grief, the unexpected tragedy, the financial collapse, those are the moments when the body of Christ rushes in.
But the daily disciplines of walking with Jesus, the personal repentance, the quiet obedience, those belong to you and you alone. A healthy disciple knows when to ask for help and when to shoulder his own pack. Pride keeps us from asking. Laziness keeps us from carrying. Both rob us of the joy God intended.
Today, consider where you may be refusing help that God has provided through His people, and where you may be leaning on others when God is calling you to grow up and carry your own load. Ask for wisdom to know the difference.
