No Burden

Do you know why the Word of God and the orders God gives to you in your spirit are not burdensome or oppressive?  Because everything He tells you is for your good and for your victory!

God knows what it takes to live in victory in this present evil world.  In fact, He is the only One who knows.  The people of this world cannot tell you how to live victoriously.  They do not know how.  But God does!  He can make things work, even in the midst of darkness, and if we will follow His instructions, commands, and precepts from His Word, we can too!

Let me give you an example.  One commandment that God gave to us is to love one another and forgive one another as He has forgiven us.  This command is not grievous because it is the key to our freedom.  If you can walk in the love that has been shed abroad in your heart, you will have joy every day.  However, if you do not walk in this commandment of love, someone will get your joy before lunch!  God knows that.  So, He made a command of love and forgiveness because love works!  Without love, there will not be any joy, and the joy of the Lord is our strength.

“For the [true] love of God is this: that we do His commands [keep His ordinances and are mindful of His precepts and teaching].  And these orders of His are not irksome (burdensome, oppressive, or grievous)”.  1 John 5:3 (AMPC)

Do not resent God’s teachings.  Do not consider His ways a burden to your lifestyle.  Rejoice over them.  Take them gladly by the hand and let them lead you all the way to victory!

“Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus.  Thank you for guiding me throughout my life, for teaching me so much and loving me unconditionally.  I know that in You I have provision and I have peace.  You know what is best for me and want the very best for me, may I continually place my faith and trust in You even when it does not make sense to me.  I know You will help me overcome all obstacles.  The victory is yours.  Amen.”

Victoriously take hold of God’s Richest Love and Blessings by walking in love and forgiveness.
