Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.
Worrying is a common struggle that many of us face in life. It can consume our thoughts, drain our energy, and hinder our ability to trust God fully. However, if you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you are called to cast your worries on the Lord and place your trust in His faithfulness. Take comfort in knowing that God is intimately aware of the challenges you face. He sees your struggles and stands ready to intervene on your behalf. He is not a distant, uncaring God; instead, He actively protects and upholds His beloved children. The psalms of David which were penned thousands of years ago, have as much relevance in today’s anti-God, Christ-rejecting sinful world, as they did in the time of David’s trouble. David had been betrayed by one of his best friends and his soul was in deep distress. He was restless and complaining, oppressed by wicked men, and distracted by a multitude of threats from his evil enemies. He was overwhelmed by trouble, broken-hearted with grief, anguished in heart, and in deep emotional distress. Like many believers today, David was fearful of his growing number of enemies, overburdened by his many troubles, and sinking into a bottomless slough of despondency. Yet despite his unbearable difficulties, David was enabled to turn his eyes on the Lord and cast his burdens upon Him. David knew that God would sustain him through every difficulty he faced, for God will never allow the righteous to be shaken. Today, we too are increasingly overwhelmed by terrors and threats without, which cause many fears and fainting within, but throughout the Word of God we are reminded not to fear, for the Lord our God is with us wherever we go. We are also encouraged to cast all our cares upon Him, for He cares for us. Remember, God’s promise does not mean you will never face difficulties. However, it assures you that you will not be overcome or destroyed by them. He will shield you from spiritual harm and ensure your faith remains strong. As you navigate life’s trials, you can trust in His loving care and sovereign guidance. Let us take this verse to heart, and cast all our cares on the Lord, knowing that if we do, He has promised to sustain us.
