Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.
Psalm 68:19 NIV
So many times, we hyper-focus on our burdens. It’s almost as if we choose to trust in the burden, not the burden-bearer. Our gaze remains fixed on the problem, not the problem-solver.
It’s time to shift our focus! God has promised in His Word that He will bear our burdens, not just occasionally, but daily. Every problem we face can be placed into His mighty hands. He’s more than capable. When we shift our attention away from our trials and onto Him, our perspective changes completely. The weight is gone! And when the weight is gone, we’re better able to lift our hands and hearts in praise, which further strengthens our faith.
No matter what you’re going through today, praise God! He’s ready and willing to carry the load on your behalf. What a trustworthy and faithful God we serve!
Lord, there are so many days when I feel weighted down with life’s burdens. How freeing, to know You want to lift those weights from my shoulders, to carry them for me. What a gracious and kind Father You are! I’m so grateful to You, my burden-bearer. Amen.
