Walking on Air

Scripture

1 John 5:3 This is the love for God; to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome.

Observation

How awesome is it that the ways of God, what He has outlined for me, the path he has me walking on, the "things" he would have me do are all designed to lighten my daily walk. I will never feel burdened by obeying his word, instead I am free.

Application

Obey the commands of God and live a burdensome free life. What does that look like? How do I put that into practice? Love instead dislike people. Give instead of being selfish. Trust God in all ways instead of trusting the direction "I" think I should go. Avoid places and things of evil and embrace places of praise. As I look throughout the Bible there are commands all over the place. Each one of them is for my good. Each one of them will create a burden free life for me. All I have to do is obey them!

Prayer

Father, Your way is the only way. You have created for me a burden free life. It is me who chooses to pick up the cares of this world and carry the burden. I pray that you would forgive me for thinking my ways are better than obeying what you established. I ask that you would help me obey your commands, every one of them, because you want to carry my concerns and make my way light, like I'm walking on air. Amen.
