Hebrews 5:13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.

If we do not study God’s Word and His will in our lives then we are going to remain young or immature Christians; the type who are easily led astray…

But when we take time out to read up about God, His Word, His ways and seek His direction, we grow stronger and more mature.

Adults are trusted with things in life because they should have learned more things from life than younger people.

Study more with God and grow in your knowledge and wisdom day by day.

Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Riding a bicycle can be easy. Riding uphill can be difficult. Riding a bicycle with heavy paniers gets more difficult not just because of the extra weight but because of the lack of balance as well!

Things get a whole lot easier if someone can take the extra load in a car or on a train for you and you just meet them at the destination after riding the distance.

If those loads get taken away all together so we don’t even have to deal with them at the destination, things get even better!

God wants us to be able to go the distance by taking those heavy loads we seem to gather in our lives and getting rid of them all together!

Psalm 38:4 For my iniquities have gone over my head; Like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

I don’t know about you but I have dreamt about drowning at least once in my life and the horrible feeling of having the water rise above your head so you cannot breathe is not nice!

If we are going to try to take care of our own sins we will get to the stage when we find we are just too weak to carry on bailing ourselves out – the water will come in over our heads.

Don’t let sin get you down – yes it is wrong and it can seem impossible to let go of it.

If we are willing to give it to God, He can help us get rid of it once and for all!

2 Timothy 3:6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,

How many times have you been tempted into doing something against a weaker person? How many times have you given in and done something against them?

None of us like the idea of bullying but if we are honest we have been a part of something that can be looked at as being bullying in other people’s eyes!

It is the sin and temptation we give in to which ruins our lives and the lives of others; ditch it and release it!

God wants us to be better people and has made it possible for us to be free from such things – ask Him for strength to combat them!
