Burden
3 Stone is heavy and sand a burden,
but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.
Proverbs 27:3
What do you carry as a burden? Is it that feeling that you aren't good enough, or that you are not the person you need to be? Do you sometimes feel like you weigh someone else down with your problems and they would be better off without you around? The problem with this train of thought is that it is all self-imposed when you lay your burdens on yourself. I read something this week that God is shaping you to bear whatever burden comes upon you. These are good words, and think about this verse as stone and sand can be burdens, but what is worse is when you provoke yourself to make a burden heavier. Remember God is there to help us carry our burden, while he might not fully carry it for us, he prepares us to carry that burden that we think weighs us down.
Have a great weekend.
