Finding Freedom from the Rat Race
As believers, we’re called to fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Yet, it’s easy to get caught up in the chaos of daily life and feel like we’re stuck in a never-ending cycle of busyness.
The Struggle is Real
Meet Jackie, a Christian wife and mother who was juggling multiple responsibilities. She worked part-time, was actively involved in her church, and enjoyed her activities – at first. However, as time went on, her efforts began to feel fruitless, leaving her discouraged, stressed, and ready to throw in the towel.
You’re Not Alone
If you’ve ever felt like dropping out when life seems like a rat race, take heart – you’re not alone! Even the Apostle Paul experienced similar feelings. In his wisdom, he advises us to shed the unnecessary weight that slows us down and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus.
Prioritizing What Matters
Jackie took Paul’s advice to heart and made some intentional changes. She prioritized her church responsibilities, let go of some commitments, and surrendered each day to God. By doing so, she discovered a sense of freedom and purpose.
Run Your Race, Friend!
Remember, you’re not running someone else’s race – you’re running the one God has given you. Don’t let unnecessary burdens weigh you down. Instead, focus on the path ahead and keep your eyes on Jesus. You got this, friend!
