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.
