Give Your Burdens
To The LORD,
And He Will Take Care Of You.
Scripture
Psalm 55
22 Give your burdens to the Lord,
and he will take care of you.
He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.
Observation
Psalm
55:22 does not say, “Give your burdens to the LORD, and He “might” take care of
you! It says, “And He Will Take Care of You!” So quit carrying those burdens,
roll them off of your shoulders and on the Lord’s. He can handle them and you
and I can’t.
You
might say, “I give my worries to the Lord and then a few minutes later I catch
myself worrying about them again.”
This
is something that we are all guilty of so let me suggest this:
Every
time we start to worry and every time we begin to carry that burden on our
shoulders again let’s pray and give it back to the Lord, a thousand times
during the day if necessary!
We
have to do what it says to do in Philippians 4:6-7, “Don't worry about
anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him
for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is
far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your
hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”
And
let’s not forget what God says to us in 1 Peter 5:7 “Give all your worries and
cares to God, for he cares about what happens to you.”
Application
I
am going to keep giving my burdens to the Lord and I am going to let Him carry
them. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I know that You care about me. And I know that You care about the
person that may be reading this blog.
Help
us roll our burdens off onto You and remind us when we begin to worry and carry
them ourselves. I know that we were not designed to carry our own burdens. We
were made and designed to trust in You and depend on You to handle all of the
things that make us worry. So today remind me every time I begin to worry and
remind me that I can totally trust in You because You care about me.
