CAST IT OFF
Are you overwhelmed by the weight of a burden you were never meant to carry?
Let the timeless words of King David, inspired by the Holy Spirit, sink deep into your soul...
"Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved." Psalms 55:22 ESV
The word cast in Hebrew means to throw, hurl, shed, or fling. To propel something as far as possible. To sling something out of your sight.
We know that the author, King Davidm had plenty of burdens to cast off. Not only did he carry the weight of responsibility of being King of Israel, but he also had an explicity muddy record.
Continued
And yet, even with David's downfalls and heartaches, he knew where to cast his burdens. He knew who to turn to for help. He knew how to humble himself, repent of his sins, and cling to God's mercy and grace.
So, what about you? What burdens are you carrying? The big ones, the little ones, and everything in between. The everyday worries, the soul-crushing fears, the agonizing shame.
DId you know that you can surrender all of that to the Lord--rather than crumbling under their pressure?
God wants to carry your burdens, but you have to cast them off.
So don't jut half-heartedly set down your burdens or passively give them to God; cast them at His feet. You can trust that He will sustain you and give you the strength to stand.
