Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
A burden is anything you are experiencing that weigh you down. Anything that doesn’t allow you to move at the speed you desire.
Everybody has one burden or the other but at different degrees. Some have spiritual burdens. The burdens of others may be financial, family, health, emotional, and so on. No one is immune against burden.
What do we do when we are faced with a burden that is too much for us to handle?
Some cry, some go around begging, some blame others for their plight, some accuse the government for not doing enough for the populace.
Let us see what the bible recommends on how to handle our burdens.
Psalms 55:22
Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
You are to take that burden to God. The bible says God will sustain you. To sustain means to keep you while the situation lasts. He won’t allow the situation to consume you. He will provide a way out for you.
But don’t forget that the word of God here is meant for the righteous. It says God will never allowed the righteous to be moved. As long as you are a righteous person, you will not be consumed by the challenges you are facing. To be righteous means to be right with God. To be a partaker of Christ’s righteousness. To be a believer in Jesus Christ.
How do we cast our burdens upon God?
The bible answers it.
Philippians 4:6
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
When you pray and believe God for answer, the answer will come in due time. God never comes too late.
Mark 11:23
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
My prayer for you:
I pray that God will help you to carry all your burdens and He will give you rest.
Scripture meditation:1 Peter 5:7
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Stay blessed.
