Stress Load

It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.

— Lou Holtz —

Holtz’s quote is so relevant to what is going on in the world today.

Most of us are carrying a pretty heavy “load” due to all the uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Most of the load we are carrying are emotions rooted in fear.

When that happens (emotions rooted in fear) we are allowing the devil to help us carry the load.


If ever there has been a time to test yourself on who and/or what is helping you carry your emotional load it is now.

Are your thoughts, words, and deeds reflective of a life being driven by the Holy Spirit as demonstrated by your fruits (see Galatians 5:22 below) or are they reflective of a life being guided by the Holy Spirit’s adversary as demonstrated by its rotten fruits such as pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, sloth, anger, self-pity, impatience, etc…?

It’s pretty easy to discern.

BTW…if you spend more time following the news than you do following Him…I can tell you pretty quickly who is helping you carry your load.

Whoever has your ear has your heart.

 


“But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22 NLT)

AND…you produce these fruits noted through the Apostle Paul in the book of Galatians by turning your “load” over to Him at the start of each day and throughout the day.

P.E.A.C.E.
