Ps 68:19: Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.
Isn’t that the most wonderful thought! The Lord, our God and Savior, daily bears our burdens. Let me say that once again, He daily bears our burdens.
I woke up a bit tired today after my infusion yesterday and with just a little stamina and strength to do what needs to be done. I woke up today with the promise, however, that whatever burden I may face, Jesus my Savior is there to bear that burden.
We know so well the invitation of Christ Jesus. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” [Matt 11:28-30 NIV]
Every day that invitation stands true. It is an invitation to daily pick up His light burden, while He carries our heavy one. It is an invitation to seek His face every day, to know what His direction is for that day, to care for His people, to share His Gospel, to love Him … all light burdens.
He in turn carries our depressions and discouragements. He brings forgiveness to our sins and carries away the heaviness of our guilt and shame. He bears our burdens of fear, rejection, disappointment, and grief, and brings us peace, acceptance, and comfort in their place.
Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.
