"Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, The God who is our salvation.” (v.19)
Stress is everywhere. We stress about our finances, we stress over our jobs or potential jobs, we stress over unaccomplished tasks on our to-do lists, we even stress over the little things like our internet connection and speeds. There are all sorts of things that weigh our thoughts down, burdening us down and making us struggle for each task. When you think about all of those items which you absolutely need to take care of it can make you just drop down in shock!
God tells us to give Him all our burdens, all our worries, all our cares. He asks us to hand over each stressor as it comes. He asks us to lay our problems and our issues in His hands. He wants us to treat Him as Father, with us as children and let Him deal with everything. He is more than capable, and more than prepared to deal with anything that can stress us.
Though sometimes it seems that He is taking His time or not dealing with our burdens, when we look back we can always see His guiding hands working through the problem, and always differently than we would expect Him to. This week, let’s hand over each burden and stress – no matter what it is – to God and let Him bear the burdens in our lives!
There is rest from your worries and troubles, just lay them at the feet of Jesus.
The Truth: “Come unto Me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30)
