TAKE YOUR BURDENS TO THE LORD

Proclamation:

"Cast your cares on The LORD and He will sustain you;  He will never let the righteous fall."  Psalms 55:22 (NIV)

Explanation:

These words of comfort and consolation were written to the people of God by King David, under the divine inspiration of The Holy Spirit of God.  He encouraged them to take their burdens and concerns to The Lord and then leave them there.  David wanted them to know that if they trusted in The Lord, that He would take care of them and He would never let them down.

Application:

As believers we trust in The Lord.  We know that He can handle all of our anxiety causing situations.  He can lift us up out of the depths that depression causes us to sink into.  He can turn our burdens into blessings, our trials into triumphs, and our pains into pleasure.  No burden or problem, no matter how great, is too much for Him to handle.  Whatever our situation or our circumstance, The Lord will uphold us and sustain us through the struggles that we face.  All we have to do is believe and trust in The Lord, and He will sustain us. (Psalms 115:11)  So, as the song says, “take your burdens to The Lord and leave them there.”
