Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.
Psalms 68:19 (NIV)
Our key text urges us to turn our attention from our problems to God’s unwavering character. It reminds us that our Lord, who is our Savior and Sustainer, is always actively involved in our lives. He is there to bear our burdens, not abandon us to face our challenges on our own.
He Carries Us In His Arms
The text highlights how constant God’s concern is rather than intermittent. His pledge to carry our burdens is a daily reality rather than a one-time event. No matter how big or tiny our problems are, God is always there to encourage and support us.
The psalmist exhorts us to take up an attitude of thankfulness. Praise brings our faith closer to God and helps us align our hearts with His goodness. Praise, even in the face of difficult situations, turns our attention from our troubles to God’s strength and constancy.
When God Bears Our Burdens
The knowledge that God carries our loads can be very calming. Rather than depending entirely on our own strength, we are asked to rest in His. Our ability to overcome obstacles with a fresh sense of assurance and hope is made possible by this divine cooperation.
Now that God Himself has pledged to bear your burdens, why carry them yourself? Recognize your burdens and present them to God in prayer, asking Him to take them on your behalf. Give Him thanks for His constant presence in your life and His assurance that He will bear your burden.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I am very grateful that You bear my burdens every day and support me in my moments of uncertainty and difficulty.
