Suitcases sure have hanged over the years. I suppose it’s because people have a lot more clothes than they used to. Think about it. Men had one suit if they were wealthy and two pairs of shoes. Women had a couple dresses and skirts, a sweater, a couple of tops, and a coat. Today a person may have a hundred pair of shoes or like my mother over a hundred hats. We want to take everything with us when we travel but airlines won’t let you take a suitcase weighing over 50 lbs. Most airlines charge for the first bag and the second bag.
Suitcases today are wonderful. Mine has wheels that turn 380 degrees and have extending handles that make it easy to maneuver even the most wicked airports. I thought I had a great set and they are only few years old—until I shopped for a new set for my mother. My large suitcase weighs 22 lbs. empty. My mother’s new one weighs only a little over 5 lbs.
I got to thinking burdens are like old suitcases, the older they are the more they weigh and the more burdensome they are to carry. I’ve learned it you want to travel quickly you’ve got to travel light.
We were never made to carry burdens but to turn them over to our savior. I challenge you today to think about what you have carried far too long. What’s weighing you down?
Matthew 11:28 (NIV) “"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:30 (NIV) “For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
