Heavy Glory

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 to display His strength.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (NIV)

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

2 Corinthians 4:17 NIV

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

Psalm 23: 3 NIV

He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
