“Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.” Psalm 68:19 (NIV)
“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV)
Imagine the life of the Lords and Ladies who have someone to attend to all their physical needs as seen on TV programs and movies. But the servants from downstairs cannot carry the burdens, the worries of those they served. We have two verses today and we are reminded by our verses that our God is concerned about us and He actually bears our burdens and He wants us to throw them off by giving them to Him. Our burdens are the matters that cause us great concern and make us afraid. Since God is ready to care these things for us, we do not have to be concerned about them, do we? Either we try to bear up under their weight or we let God fulfill this promise to bear them for us. Since God is going to carry my burdens, why should I continue to try carry them? I'll just get in His way. Really, what God is waiting for is for us to cast these matters onto Him. Note one other very special word – the word “daily.” Is that not great? He will take our burdens today and if something else comes up tomorrow, He will take that, too, and so on day after day!
