PSALM V
Burdens
Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you; (Psalm 55:22 ESV)
Many years ago, we purchased a pop-up camper from a clever friend. He had constructed a set of moveable cross-bars to support the part of the camper that stuck out on either end… the part of the camper in which we would sleep.
Over the years, other mechanical alterations made those supports unnecessary, and I finally got rid of them.
But now, to my eye, the camper looks insecure.
Even my granddaughter recently asked, “Will that stay UP, Pop?”
I assured her that it could sustain her slight weight. But in the back of my mind, I wondered if it would sustain MY weight!
The larger the burden, the more sustaining power is needed.
And we have some heavy burdens.
God is strong enough to sustain us, no matter the weight of our sorrows, our fears, or our mistakes.
He holds them all up with His Son, Jesus Christ.
And that is sustaining!
