““I removed the burden from their shoulders; their hands were set free from the basket.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭81:6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

On Surrender Sunday I encouraged us all to lay our burdens down. Well, it was Sunday evening and I had already failed. It was about 7:45pm, coming home from the grocery store and I still needed to cook dinner. I was thinking of my week ahead and I turned down my street. And there was the moon, filling the gap in between the trees. An overwhelming sense of calm came over me as the moon radiated the sky and lit the path ahead.

Doesn’t God fill our gaps? Doesn’t He light our paths ahead? Doesn’t He lift our burdens when we surrender them? In this verse from psalms, it is about God freeing the Israelites. We know how we’ll they listened. We are no different. On this Transformation Tips Tuesday, I will once again surrender. Yes, the week ahead is busy, and yes I still have a lot to accomplish. I can have the peace of God, knowing I don’t have to it on my strength. Recite after me, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Phil 4:13).
