Greetings,
We all have burdens that we must bear. Because the world in which we live has been so terribly damaged by sin, not even the righteous are exempt from some form of suffering. Sadly, many believers think that once we give our hearts to God and begin serving Him, we will no longer have to deal with problems. Don’t we wish that was true!
The fact is, this earth is not heaven. We live in a broken world that has been crushed by sin. We have been redeemed—but the world has not yet been restored from the catastrophic effects of sin. When Christ returns, that will be changed and the earth restored. Until then, believers must deal with sickness, pain, death, economic woes, and challenges in our relationships.
What should we do as we wait for His return? This is what David said:
Psalm 55:22 (NKJV) – “Cast your burden on the LORD, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.”
God will sustain and strengthen you, if you will take your problems to Him in prayer. He is such a GOOD GOD!
Thank You, for caring about what I go through! Thank You for the strength that I find in You. Today I’m letting go of the problems that I face in this broken world and I’m giving them to You. You are strong and can carry them. By Your power, I stand and I’m not moved.
Today, I’m worshiping with Jenn Johnson and “Goodness of God.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
