Weight Shifted

Weight Sifted

Colossians 1:6-7:

         "As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as yea heave been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving (KJV)."

 

            A building's foundation is sunk deep in the earth to prevent the structure from shifting. A building that shifts too much is unstable and unsafe. What foundation supports you? Is it able to withstand all the pressures of life? If not I suggest you make Jesus Christ your foundation. He can handle the weight of life. Jesus sad, "My yoke is easy and my burden is light." Jesus will take your heavy burdens and make them light because, through Him life is fulfilling. You want rest? Come sit under His teaching and be rooted with a good foundation and find rest for your soul.

 

            Jesus has your best interest at heart at all times. Your friends may not. They may want to be our foundation. They may want you to trust them. They have good intentions but they still may mislead you. Your friends build a shaky foundation. Jesus is the Rock a solid foundation. Do not let people say you. Let Jesus be your foundation. Be rooted and built up in Him.

 

            Jesus took your sins with Him on the cross. Jesus took your burden. He was help up by nails in His hands and feet to cancel your debt. Your debt is sin, your burden is guilt and your penalty is death. Jesus saw this weight that you could not handle and sifted it all on Himself. Through faith in Jesus walk in Him and live debt free, weight free, and stress free. Shift your burdens to Jesus. He will keep you in perfect peace by guarding your heart and your mind.

 

PRAYER:

Lord I cannot carry this alone and I thank you for sending Jesus to bear my sins. I want to be rooted in your word and live a life that is abounding and full of thanksgiving. I can only do this through Jesus, my Lord and Savior. Amen.
