I want to draw a picture today that will be easy to remember. Let me first share a great verse.

“Cast your burden upon the LORD, and He shall sustain thee” (Psalm 55:22).

Picture an elderly man staggering under the weight of a fifty-pound seed bag. He is determined that he is fully capable of carrying the load. But now he is halfway to the loading dock, and he knows that he is in trouble. Just when he is ready to collapse, a young man rushes to his side. “Let me take that for you, friend!” he says. In a second, the heavy seed bag is rolled from the old man onto the shoulder of the young man. What a picture of what the Lord wants to do in the lives of His people. What are you trying to carry by yourself today? The Lord Himself wants to carry your burdens. Give them to Him (and don’t grab them back and try to carry them by yourself!)

For today: I need to cast my burdens on the Lord. How about you?
