PACK LIGHT
Flight 2021 is boarding and we will soon be ready for take-off. Due to low cabin space whatever you do not need we ask that you leave it behind. Those willing to leave behind what you do not need, please continue boarding, and unfortunately for those that can’t let go of their extra baggage, we will see you next time!
Just imagine hearing those words when you arrive at your gate ready for departure. You see some people willing to do whatever it takes to board that flight, dropping all the baggage they have to enjoy the next destination, then you have those that just can’t let go resulting in them not being able to go any further.
The same thing happens in our life when we continue to hold on to dead things. When God is trying to do a new thing we focus so much on the old that we can’t even appreciate where we are going and we end up forfeiting what’s meant for us. And one thing is for sure, each new level you go to requires you to let some junk go. Whether it’s friends, family, a job, anger, fear, negativity, so on and so forth, it all has to be left behind.
Of course, it’s easier said than done, but look at it this way, would you want to be around someone that is carrying extra baggage all the time? The answer is a hard no because it’s a lot to deal with. So I challenge you to let go of anything that is no longer serving you any good and keeping you from going to your next destination. Whatever is holding you back, let it go, and allow God to replace what you let go of with new things that are going to flourish you. Another thing to ponder on is if God were to tell you today to leave everything behind because he has something new for you, would you be able to? The goal is to get to a place where we can say yes without any hesitation or fear.
Isaiah 43:18-19 ESV
“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”
1 Corinthians 9:24 ESV
“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.”
AS ALWAYS STAY BLESSED AND COME BACK NEXT WEEK!
