Recycle burdens? If there’s a hard way to do things, you can rely on a man to find it and conquer it. And, that’s not all bad. Bearing up under the weight of a heavy load is a character quality that serves us well. If you’re going to do it, do it as a challenge not a chore.
Think about it. While being long suffering and uncomplaining about your burdens is noble, it may not be all too bright. What’s the point of carrying them? We only serve to prove that we know little about the work that needs to be done and a whole lot about inflicting pain upon ourselves.
God’s Word tells us: “Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken” (Psalm 55: 22).
God instructs us to “cast all (our) cares” on Him. He’s offering an easy way to cart your heavy personal burdens away and dispose of them. Throw them on Me, He says. I will carry them for you. Ultimately, trying to lift that which should not be lifted makes little sense and can only make your life more tedious.
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34) www.thispassingday.com
