LW: Once we have cast our burden upon Him He assumes full responsibility for it and for us, and He promises to sustain or uphold us

Study 5B WHAT TO DO WITH LIFE’S BURDENS
(Scripture Portion: Psalm 55)
What ARE we to do with life’ s burdens ?
Three things are indicated in our key-verse – Psalm 55:22
1. ACCEPT the burden FROM the Lord. The word “burden” here literally means “that which He has given you”; or the word may simply mean “gift”. Did you ever think of your burdens as a trust from God? To understand this is to take the first step in the transformation of trouble. That trial, disappointment, loss –- is that God’s doing? Yes, He has permitted it; He has trusted you with it for some very wise and loving purpose – – Romans 8:28. It has not come because of “fate” or “bad luck”; it may have come from the Devil, but only with the Lord’s full permission. Therefore, accept it from His hands. One reason God gives us burdens to bear is that they may bring us closer to Himself –- look at verse 19. It is easy to forget Him and become slack when things go smoothly, when there are no “changes”! Compare also Psalm 119:67,71. Will you accept your burden from the hand of the Lord?
2. CAST the burden UPON the Lord. The word “cast” here means “fling” or “hurl”. It requires and denotes action and effort. Daniel was cast into prison (Daniel 6:7-16); Jonah was cast into the sea (Jonah 1:15); John was cast into prison (Matthew 4:12); the Devil will be cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:10); and you and I are to cast our burdens upon the Lord (Psalm 55:22). He is the great burden-bearer, and His gracious word to sinner and to saint is Matthew 11:28-30. Here we see a further reason why He gives us these burdens: that in our weakness we may prove His strength and the all-sufficiency of His grace . He wants us to learn the great two-fold lesson that WE CANNOT, BUT HE CAN! Read about Paul’s heavy burden: from whom it came, why God permitted it, how Paul prayed for it to be removed, and what God said to him –- 2 Corinthians 12:7-9(a). Now see what he was able to say after God had spoken to him –- verses 9(b) and 10. Will you cast your burden upon the Lord? Will you let Him carry it for you? It is too heavy for you!
3. LEAVE the burden WITH the Lord. Once we have cast our burden upon Him He assumes full responsibility for it and for us, and He promises to sustain or uphold us. How wonderful this is – “HE will sustain YOU”! But more – “He will NEVER let the righteous fall.” Never? No, never – so Psalm 55:
Fear not, I am with thee, O, be not dismayed!
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid:
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.
This is our assurance ,can you pray for some time with this study...God bless you
