Have you ever felt weighed down by life? There's good news from God himself.
The Lord said, my load is light and my yoke is kindly.
These words bring hope and comfort. They tell us something key about God's nature. When God asks us to follow Him, He doesn't mean to burden us. Instead, He offers us a gentle path.
Think of a yoke - it's a tool that helps carry loads. God's yoke is different from the heavy loads we often put on ourselves. His way is kind. His path is light. This sets up an important truth we need to grasp about our walk with God.
How can we tell if a burden is from God? The answer is simple.
Anything that God is doing for us today, if the load is too heavy, then it is not from God or from the Lord. It is from Satan.
When life feels too hard to handle, we need to stop and think. God doesn't give us loads we can't carry. If you feel crushed under the weight of something, that's a clear sign. Such heavy burdens don't come from God.
The enemy tries to weigh us down. Satan wants us to feel overwhelmed. But God's way is different. He lifts us up instead of pushing us down.
This truth helps us know what to accept and what to reject. If a burden feels too heavy, we can be sure - it's not from God.
When you face problems in life, you need clear answers. Here's a simple way to know what's right.
Any answers that you're looking for, as you go through the problems in your life, and if you are adhering yourself to scriptures, if the load from you being obedient to something is too heavy, then that counsel is not from God.
Let's break this down:
First, check what the Bible says. Scripture gives us a solid base for finding answers. When you face tough choices, start here.
Next, think about how the advice feels. Does following it feel too hard? That's a key sign. God's guidance shouldn't crush you.
If doing what you're told feels like too much:
Remember: God's way brings peace, not pressure. If counsel weighs you down too much, it's not from Him.
