For the last couple of days I have been stuck on a verse, concept that has been hard to accept. At some level I have always known this, but have really been considering the truth of Psalm 68:19. The Lord daily bears my burdens? Really? This is not the only place I have seen this thought check out Psalm 55:22; Psalm 37:4 – 5; Isaiah 46:4; Proverbs 16:3; 1 Peter 5:7; and Philippians 4:6 – 7.
So think through this with me. The creator of the universe (Genesis 1 and 2), who holds all things together (Col 1:17), who fills the heavens and the earth (Jeremiah 23:24), who is all knowing, who is all powerful, who created me in my mother’s womb (Psalm 139) engaging in that process cell by cell for nine months, for a purpose which He ordained before the beginning of the world (Ephesians 2:10), whose kingdom has no beginning and no end – this One bears my burden?
The God who holds the Eagle Nebula in place is concerned and invites me to ask Him to bear my daily burdens.
I am overwhelmed.
