Cast Your Burdens
“Cast your burden on the Lord,
And He shall sustain you;
He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.”
The word of God says very clearly to us that we need to cast our burdens on the Lord and He shall sustain us. Jesus can be trusted, therefore take your burden to Him, He will sustain you until His good timing.
Remember Mary and Martha, the sisters of Lazarus? When Lazarus died, they thought that Jesus had come too late, remember? But as always, the Lord is never early and never late - He is always on time.
“Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”
- Mary speaking to Jesus in John 11:32
I want to say to you this morning, in the midst of this Coronavirus - this COVID-19 where many people have died: Our days have been allotted to us even before we were conceived in our mother’s womb. We cannot prolong our lives one day longer or shorter. Maybe somebody this morning is thinking: “If I had only looked after him/her a little bit better, then maybe they would have made it.” Not at all.
The Lord gives life and the Lord takes away life.
If we look at Psalm 139, this is what the Lord says, very clearly, to us this morning - and we need to listen. The Lord says:
“Your eyes (the Lord’s eyes) saw my substance being yet unformed (In other words He saw us even before we were formed) and in Your book, they all were written (in Your book). Psalm 139:16
I am just going to say that again.
“Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.”
That is pretty clear. And then in Job:
“Since his days are determined,
The number of his months is with You;
You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass.”
Job 14:5
The Lord is in complete control of your life today - You have nothing to fear. Live life to the full, live it to your best and leave the rest to God. Let's start living one day at a time and that loved one that has gone ahead of you remember, the Lord says clearly in Psalm 116:
“Precious in the sight of the Lord
Is the death of His saints.”
Psalm 116:15
Your loved ones are waiting for you in Heaven and you and I need to be ready because maybe today, who knows, He might come back to take us to be with Him in Paradise.
Have a wonderful day.
God bless you and goodbye.
