My presence is heavy but My burden is light. Do you want to know what it means to carry My heavy glory? Trust My process. Every challenge and trial is an invitation into greater reliance on Me. Every situational submission is an invitation for Me to overwhelm and consume you into My likeness and purpose.
Why is the mantle heavy but the burden light?
To fully walk with Me is to know the fullness and the rich weight of My presence. To live and function in it is to submit fully to letting go of everything and relinquishing it to Me. If every thought and action is an easy instinctive reaction to My prompting, you can do anything I lead you to do. Do not think you are promoted because of your worthiness. You are promoted because of your reliance on Me. Every trial and challenge is an invitation into greater reliance on Me.
Every yes to Me is an opportunity for Me to increase the weight of presence that envelops and consumes you. To you it is lightness and freedom and ease, to the world around you it will be the presence of My heavy glory.
Activation: Bring to mind the struggle you are presently experiencing. How can you say yes to the Lord in it? How can it be used to greater lead you into reliance on Him. Thank Him for the honour of being trained in paths of righteousness and being chosen to be called into even greater reliance in order to display His strength.
9 but He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation]; for [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness.” Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me.
10 So I am well pleased with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, and with difficulties, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak [in human strength], then I am strong [truly able, truly powerful, truly drawing from God’s strength].
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (AMP)
For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]!
2 Corinthians 4:17 (AMP)
He refreshes and restores my soul (life); He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
Psalm 23:3 (AMP)
