Emotional pain and Loss

The Taskmaster Chasing After Me

Psalm 81:6 - He says, “I removed the burden from their shoulders; their hands were set free from the basket.”
Sometimes I feel like life is rushing. I feel so busy and need to move fast.
 
I imagine a Taskmaster behind me running after me chasing me lifting his whip to hit me across my back. And so, I run, and I run, and I run. But when exhaustion comes upon me, I finally decide that I’m going to turn around and tell that Taskmaster that I need to take a break.
 
So, I turn around and who do you think the Taskmaster is that’s chasing after me lifting his whip to hit me across my back:
 
I am.
It’s only me that’s Chasing Life
It’s only me that gets in the way
Of peace.
 
Take a look at the Bible verse above. God doesn’t give us more burdens on our shoulders. He lifts the burden off of us. He sets us free. Remember that when you feel like a taskmaster is pursuing you.
