There are times in life that everyone of us has a problem or unanswered question to a given situation that the solution is nowhere in sight and we carry that problem like excess baggage. We toss, we turn throughout the night and awaken tired from lack of quality sleep because of our excess baggage. We go through the day out of balance and things don't seem to go right because of one small problem that escalates. When you think about it the answer has always been right in front of us but we could not see it because we try to fix it ourselves instead of giving it to the one who has the answer and solution to all our problems - God.
I have a friend that likes to say time and time again the nearer the clearer. That is to say the nearer we are to God the clearer the solution to the problem becomes. If we just pray and give the problem to God and leave it there with Him that weight of the excess baggage will be lifted.
The key is to leave the problem with God and don't reach back to pick it up again. It's that simple yet can be difficult if you allow it to be.I had a problem that consumed me and I carried it for many days trying to solve it myself before I decided to released it and let God work it out for me. The nearer the clearer, my problem was solved, God was with me all the time and was there to work it out for my good but He was waiting for me to give it to Him. Often times we carry the weight of the world on our shoulders and it doesn't have to be that way our Heavenly Father is there to bring us out of any given situation. If you have excess baggage that you are carrying with you always keep in mind the nearer the clearer and release it to God.
Excess Baggage Always Causes Problems
