Stuck in your ways!!!
Jesus Said,
Come to me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.
At that time Jesus answered and said, "I praise Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that Thou didst hide these things from {the} wise and intelligent and didst reveal them to babes. "Yes, Father, for thus it was well-pleasing in Thy sight. "All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son, except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal {Him.} "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. "Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. "For My yoke is easy, and My load is light." Matthew 11:25-30
I was thinking about being stuck in my ways, I want things my way, in a nice little box wrapped with a bow. It just works better for me this way. I think with that in mind I tend to let things build up and up until I can't even see any more. REST, this is the big word that I need to grab on to, not even the word it self but the concept of it. Jesus said that he would give me rest and as a result I won't need to have things in nice little boxes but it would all be in him. Take time today to seek him. Every day we have this choice to continue to do our own things or to rest. Today choose Rest. It will make a world of difference.
