Jesus sent forth his apostles and told them to leave behind anything that would weigh them down as they went out to share the Good News of the Gospel. This advice remains true for each of us today who wish to faithfully follow our Lord.
It can be easy to feel “weighed down” by our daily concerns and responsibilities—with a list of emails, errands, appointments, and phone calls making any given day a whirlwind of activity.
Although God have assigned each of us certain responsibilities, and expects that we faithfully carry them out, he never desires for us to feel overly burdened or trapped by circumstances.
What is the Lord asking you to surrender—perhaps fear, doubt, distress, or worldly concerns? Trust that in Jesus, you have all you need. Then, “travel lightly” throughout this day.
