“Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me.” Psalm 23:4
There is not a person in this world who does not have burdens in their lives. The troubles of this world can mount up quickly and become extremely heavy. Sometimes our heaviness is so heavy that we succumb to the pressure and end up giving in. We become overwhelmed with the problems our world presents. Our God in heaven has given us an answer. Jesus said, “Come unto me, all ye that labor, and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11: 28-30. Jesus tells each of us to come to him. He tells us that he will give us rest. We, however, must be willing and be able to leave our troubles at his feet. If we take our burdens to the Lord, lay them at his feet, and then pick them up and take them with us, then we continue to carry the burdens on our shoulders. How will the Lord help us if we don’t allow him to? If we believe in his willingness to carry our burdens and trust him to deal with them, then we should not worry about them again. We should constantly thank Him for what he has done. We should continue to pray and listen. He will provide us with solutions to our problems and we will be overcomers through him. We must trust, believe and receive. We must not worry, be stressed or fear. Jesus loves us and we should love and believe in Him. Who is carrying your burdens? Are you walking around with the stress and pressures of the world on your back or have you given them over to the Lord to handle and carry them for you? PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
