Cast Your Burden

Psalms 55:22 (KJV)

Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. 

What kind of burdens do you have? Take a little time right now and think about or jot down what is heavy on your heart. Could it be finances? Or maybe even a job? It might be a person who has hurt you or that you have hurt? Maybe you are dealing with one of your own behaviors right now. Or maybe even there is a temptation/sin that has its hooks in you. Whatever it is, you can bring it to the Lord.

There are those of you who may doubt that you are able to do this because of what the second part of this verse says; in your own mind you are saying: “I am NOT righteous, so the Lord will not sustain me.” I’m not picking on anybody, but we get to the point that we think we are not worth it for God to care because we don’t measure up. 

Let’s address two truths that were just mentioned: We are NOT righteous and we don’t measure up (Rom 3:10-18). BUT, it isn’t about what we can do – it’s about what Christ can do through us. We are righteous through faith in Jesus (Rom 3:21-24). Do you believe Jesus died for your sins? Do you believe He had victory over sin and death? Then believe that you are righteous in Him.

Can you cast your burden on the Lord now? You may not feel worthy to give your burdens to the King, but He believes you are worth it (Rom 5:8).
