We’re finishing up our study on the need for creating a “rule of life,” a structure built to aid in helping us abide in Christ. This structure is essential for connecting you to the vine and producing the fruit God desires. One of the first steps to building this structure is to recognize any structures that get in the way of you abiding in Christ. This is one of the hardest parts about spiritual formation. When Jesus says, “his yoke is easy and his burden is light,” he means it. The part that is hard and heavy is taking the yoke of the world off. When Jesus invites us into life with him he also invites us into death with the world. To take on his yoke we must first take off the yoke of the world. Then we will see that his yoke is easy and burden light.
When developing a Rule of Life, it is important to have a balance of practices that add things to your life and practices that take away things from your life. As we wrap up this series, I want to focus on one final practice that I am heavily reevaluating in my own life: unplugging.
