Lifting Our Load!
"I relieved his shoulder
from the burden."
Psalm 81: 6
Are you carrying around a heavy burden?
So was a bull elk in Colorado who somehow stuck his head into an
abandoned car tire and got it caught around his neck. As his
antlers
grew, the tire was impossible to shake off. He was tracked for
two
years as he wandered around “tired.” His heavy rubber
necklace
weighed him down day and night.
Finally, wildlife officials were able to locate and tranquilize
him. They removed the heavy weight from his neck
before
releasing him back into the wild.
The Lord knows how much we can carry, and He knows how to
lift the burdens from our shoulders at the right time. We can
cast
all our cares on Him, knowing He will care for us in His timing, in
His will, and in His way.
Some people encounter events in their lives when it seems that
their faith has deserted them. Even in those moments, God's still
present. His strength is greater than our pain. May He lift your
load today! May He help you if you are
tired.
"Tis enough that Thou wilt care; /
Why should I the burden bear?"
John Newton
