Maybe you wouldn’t think so, but…diamonds and dishes…or clothes and clubs…or hobbies and habits all have one thing in common. They can all be heavy things.
The “things” of this world can weigh you down in more ways than you might often imagine or consider. And here’s what I’ve noticed…the more space you have…the more “things” you need. Or at least -think- you need. It’s true. If you live in a tiny studio apartment, it’s difficult to accumulate too many things.
However, if you live in a 5 bedroom house…whew! The sky’s the limit, virtually. And the more things you have, the more things you need to attend to. And the more things you attend to, the less likely you are to attend to the truly important things in life…things that aren’t merely things at all.
Like…your relationships and your health…
And your God.
Heavy things keep you looking down.
But you really need to look up. Look up to God for joy and peace and love and hope. It’s only in Him that you can truly find those “things” that aren’t things. And consider those things again for a minute…joy, peace, love, and hope. They’re not heavy things. In fact, they don’t weigh anything at all.
So they won’t weigh you down. They’ll lift you up. High above and far beyond all the worldly things you’ll ever accumulate or burn through.
If you’ve never considered God to be real, don’t be surprised when heavy things appear again and again in your life. And if you’ve never considered God to be your Creator, don’t be shocked when you discover the terrible places that sort of worldview takes the world.
If you’ve never considered God at all…do it today. You’ll discover the Truth that will set you free from the heavy things.
