Psalm 17
Job 1:1-22
Luke 21:34—22:6
From Luke 21: "Be on guard so that your hearts are not weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life"... "Be alert at all times"
What's holding you back or weighing you down? Is there something that is separating you from the joy that is Christ Jesus? Are you wasting your energies worrying about unnecessary things that are keeping you from God? It is easy to be weighed down by the worries of life, but Jesus tells us to be alert - don't let your guard down - keep your eye on the prize! He offers us a way out, a better way - and the strength to bear our burdens knowing that we are not alone.
"Don't worry, be happy"
Lord, you fill us with good things and offer us strength. Thank you for helping us to stay alert and for your grace to share our burdens.
