Weary travelers. You've seen them -- everything they own crammed into their luggage. Staggering through terminals and hotel lobbies with overstuffed suitcases, trunks, duffels, and backpacks. Backs ache. Feet burn. Eyelids droop. We've all seen people like that. At times, we are people like that -- if not with our physical luggage, then at least with our spiritual load. We all lug loads we were never intended to carry. Fear. Worry. Discontent. No wonder we get so weary. We're worn out from carrying that excess baggage. Wouldn't it be nice to lose some of those bags? That's the invitation of Max Lucado. With the Twenty-third Psalm as our guide, let's release some of the burdens we were never intended to bear. Using these verses as a guide, Max Lucado walks us through a helpful inventory of our burdens. May God use this Psalm to remind you to release the burdens you were never meant to bear.… (mais)

Discussing the burdens of self-reliance, discontent, weariness, worry, hopelessness, guilt, grief, fear,, doubt and many more.
  MenoraChurch | Oct 27, 2023 |
Todos estamos agobiados por cargas que nunca debimos llevar. Junto al autor de bestsellers del New York Times y pastor Max Lucado, Aligere su equipaje le invita a liberarse de algunas de esas cargas pesadas, y a experimentar la verdadera paz.

Todos hemos visto a viajeros cansados, con todo lo que tienen dentro de su equipaje, tambaleándose por las terminales y los vestíbulos de los hoteles. Dolor de espalda. Los pies arden. Los párpados se caen. Todos hemos visto gente así; y a veces, todos somos así, ya sea con nuestro equipaje físico o con nuestra carga espiritual.

La maleta de la culpa. El saco del descontento. La bolsa de lona del cansancio en un hombro y la bolsa colgante de la tristeza en el otro. Añade una mochila de la duda, una bolsa de viaje de la soledad y un baúl del miedo. Muy pronto estás tirando más cosas que un paracaídas. No es de extrañar que estés tan cansado al final del día. Cargar con el equipaje es agotador.

Centrado en torno a las reconfortantes y edificantes palabras del Salmo 23, Aligere su equipaje le dará el estímulo y las herramientas que necesita para liberarse de cargas como:

Autosuficiencia
Arrogancia
Desesperanza
Decepción
Vergüenza

Hay ciertos pesos en la vida que simplemente no estamos diseñados para llevar, y Max nos recuerda que el Señor te pide que los dejes y confíes en él. Él es el padre en la recogida de equipajes. Cuando un padre ve a su hijo de cinco años tratando de arrastrar el baúl familiar fuera del carrusel, ¿qué le dice? El padre le dirá a su hijo lo que Dios te está diciendo a ti.

"Déjalo, niño. Ese lo llevaré yo".

¿Y si aceptamos la oferta de Dios? Puede que nos encontremos viajando un poco más ligeros.

We're all weighed down by loads we were never intended to carry. With New York Times bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado as your guide, Traveling Light invites you to release some of those heavy burdens and experience true rest.

We've all seen weary travelers--everything they own crammed into their luggage, staggering through terminals and hotel lobbies with overstuffed suitcases, trunks, duffels, and backpacks. Backs ache. Feet burn. Eyelids droop. We've all seen people like that; at times, we all are people like that--if not with our physical luggage, then at least with our spiritual load.

The suitcase of guilt. A sack of discontent. You drape a duffel bag of weariness on one shoulder and a hanging bag of grief on the other. Add on a backpack of doubt, an overnight bag of loneliness, and a trunk of fear. Pretty soon you're pulling more stuff than a skycap. No wonder you're so tired at the end of the day. Lugging luggage is exhausting.

Centered around the comforting, uplifting words of Psalm 23, Traveling Light will give you the encouragement and the tools you need to release the burdens of:

Self-reliance
Arrogance
Hopelessness
Disappointment
Shame

There are certain weights in life that we simply aren't designed to carry, and Max reminds us that the Lord is asking you to set them down and trust him. He is the father at the baggage claim. When a dad sees his five-year-old son trying to drag the family trunk off the carousel, what does he say? The father will say to his son what God is saying to you.

"Set it down, child. I'll carry that one."

What if we took God up on his offer? We just might find ourselves traveling a little lighter.

Wow, I love Max Lucado's books & I think this one is more relevant than ever today: Sick of always being tired (or sick?) in the 'time of corona?' Feeling like there's no hope left in the world? Wishing you weren't constantly worrying & fearful all the time now? Over the constant disappointments corona virus keeps handing out? Can't stop yourself buying that pretty new plant at Bunnings? (Guilty lol!) Well, God can fix all of that, if you let Him.
In Travelling Light, Max breaks down the 23rd Psalm. The mix of touching stories & anecdotes & downright funny jokes help to explain what this famous psalm is all about. I'll be keeping this book close for awhile :O)

Max Lucado is popular, and sometimes the popular ones are the hegemony men, right. He’s offering comfort, which can be seen as compromise, or compromising. He probably wasn’t John Brown in his past life, although perhaps he could be persuaded to use the tree-planting search engine ecosia instead of Google, although maybe that’s a tech too far for the old statesman, or just not hegemony-y enough, popular enough.

But I had an awful day today thinking about the world’s pains, problems, and suspicions, and I’m starting to like Max and I might actually re-read this whole book, which I don’t always do in similar situations. I read this and a review didn’t come to me partway through, which happens. It is rather plain, and doesn’t make you convulse in fury and delight, I find. (Unless you’re suspicious, of course.)

Awhile ago I was reading a sociologist of Christianity, Rodney Stark, who had this Fox News sounding book title, The Triumph of Christianity, but I’m glad I read it for a lot of reasons; he’s a brilliant thinker, although his weakness is that he’s more pro-Christian than Christian, a little removed from life. But Stark’s maybe one criticism of our faith (if I may speak as someone who considers themselves a Christian, if a verifiably freaky one), is that it is very largely a religion of books and bookishness which many ordinary people do not understand because it is so difficult to get—the Trinitarian nature of God, a Personal yet non-polytheistic Nature of Reality—although to be fair many people don’t like to work, especially above the eyebrows. It is true that Christianity is complicated though. Catholicism is a baroque religion even today and historically a Latin language one, and Protestantism is very largely a religion of printing presses, down to the present, and making it be about any kind of book, even devotional and simple ones, “prices” it out of the range of a good many people.

But Max makes it more doable for many people, and even the most bookish and brave among us sometimes need to be told to let go of our baggage and that God can hold us by the hand and lead us through the desert.
