Travel Light

Wagon wheels of settlers moved them to a new frontier. The wooden wheels turned day by day and mile after mile; each rotation turned dreams into reality. Covered wagons were only as dependable as the wheels that ‘bore the load.’

Experienced wagon masters prepared travelers for trips with instructions to travel light; use dependable horse teams and to be sure all wheels were secure. The most crucial area of a wheel was the hub (the center of the wheels). Each spoke of a wheel was securely connected to that hub.

My life is centered on Jesus.

I travel light.

“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God (Hebrews 12:1-2 NKJV).”

I must travel light; the Lord will carry the weight of my burdens.

“Cast your burden on the Lord,
And He shall sustain you (Psalm 55:22a NKJV).”

Am I casting my cares and anxiety on Him?

“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:6-7 NKJV).”
