Burdens!

We all have burdens in life. Some of our burdens are physical, some are spiritual, and some are emotional. Burdens will weigh you down. Psalm 55:22 says: “Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer righteous to be moved.”

Jesus Christ is our great burden bearer. We often want to cling to a burden in an attempt to carry it ourselves. Have you been bitter towards God because you have asked Him to lift your burden, and He doesn’t seem to have? Realize that His will may be to lift you and carry you and the burden. The Scriptures teach that “He shall sustain THEE!”

You may be carrying a burden that the Lord never intended for you to have. Don’t get discouraged or bogged down in life’s cares. Right now, you can cast your burden on the Lord. Trust Jesus with your burdens. “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7). God will never let you fall, and He will sustain you because He cares for you. Amen!
