This is an odd picture. All those items came out the nooks and crannies of a very nice car. (Not mine!) All had been hidden or disguised in such a way that you would never have guessed it was all there. It got me to thinking about a couple of things. The first was that Christ had accused the Pharisees of being nice on the outside, but rotten on the inside.
But the more I thought about it, the more it reminded me that we all carry “baggage” with us. Others may look like they are so perfect and have no problems whatsoever while we want to complain to God about how He has let us down and our life is a mess. Sometimes we think it would be so great to change places with them, but we only see the outside, with just glimpses of their baggage.
So, daily, I need to remember to let God be my “Baggage Handler.” He knows exactly what I need. He knows where I have been, what I am facing and I need to trust Him to lead me to where I need to go.
Have a great week.
