I find that living in unrepentant, habitual sin clouds my mind. Quite literally. I can feel the weight of it settle over my thoughts. Thinking and reasoning become laborious. Insights become fleeting, darting away into obscurity at a moments notice. I revert into the mentality of the unsaved, where the things of God are foolishness and my own desires reign supreme.
However, when I am choosing to focus my mind on the things of Christ, upon Who He is and what He has done, the fog lifts and I dwell in a spacious place. Frustration and anxiety flee from me and peace and confidence become my posture.
His yoke is easy.
His burden is light.
Amen.
