In the Old Testament, Isaiah proclaimed that God has never asked for meaningless offerings. Sacrifices to work toward justice have purpose as crosses to bear. Despite witnessing miracles in their towns, people did not always repent. Jesus openly praised the Father because children could grasp what educated adults missed. For example, Pharisees deemed it unlawful for Jesus’ Disciples to pick and eat heads of grain while walking along on a Sabbath. Jesus had no problem with the snacking. Burdens in our lives may seem unnecessarily heavy, but the Lord weighs every need. Do we pray for either a lighter load or greater strength?
