God Bears Our Burdens

What are your burdens today? Every day, things weigh you down. Some burdens weigh down your body: Toothaches, cancer, chronic pain… Each is a burden that weighs you down. Some burdens weigh down your mind: Depression, loneliness, anxiety… Each is a burden that weighs you down. Some burdens weigh down your soul: Guilt, regret, fear of death… Each is a burden that weighs you down.

They are heavy, aren’t they? In fact, these burdens are more than any of us can carry.

But there is Someone who can. There is Someone who can carry all your burdens. “Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens” (Psalm 68:19). You’re not meant to carry your burdens alone. No one is strong enough for that! You can take your burdens to Jesus. He bears them.

Because he’s your Savior. Jesus is your Savior! He has already picked up the greatest burden of all—our sins—and carried it to the cross. You are forgiven through Jesus! He has already picked up our greatest enemy—death—and destroyed it by rising from the dead. Jesus has proved that he can bear your burdens.

Daily. Did you catch that little word? Daily. Jesus isn’t your Savior once in a while. He doesn’t love you just sometimes. Daily! Every day, take your pains and your worries and your sins to Jesus, and find relief for your body, mind, and soul. Because God daily bears our burdens.
