Fantastic Friday #286 - Burden

Burden

19 Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior,
who daily bears our burdens.
20 Our God is a God who saves;
from the Sovereign LORD comes escape from death. Psalm 68:19-20

Do you have some heavy burdens to bear? How close have you really looked at your own life lately? When you look at your life, the people around you that are close to you and the people around you that are not so close to you, do sit around and start comparing burdens that you weigh you down? The noun form of burden means that which is carried, the verb form of burden is to load heavily. It sounds like when we have a burden, we do it to ourselves. We take on a burden instead of allowing it to be carried by someone else, or we load it heavily on our own backs. It is a lot easier to let our Father in Heaven carry our burdens for us. I think if we quit loading these heavy burdens on our own back, we could probably enjoy our life a bit more.

Have a great weekend.
