Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken. — Ps 55:22 BSB

Dear friends, sometimes when we bring a burden to God, we groan over it, as if God is groaning with us, struggling to bear the load. But the truth is, it doesn’t burden Him at all. God says, “It’s a light thing for Me to do this for you.” What seems heavy for us is nothing to Him. Christ carries the weight of the world on one shoulder, not two. "The government shall be upon His shoulder," and He isn’t struggling or groaning under it. His mighty arm can carry all your burdens without strain. There is power in Christ for our sanctification. Yes, the Lord can sanctify, the Lord can heal, the Lord can do anything. We must have faith in God.

If you come to this river of grace today, it won’t bear you away like Niagara carrying a small boat toward a waterfall. No, it will bring you into the loving arms of God, where blessing flows forever.

Oft there comes a wondrous message,
When my hopes are growing dim,
I can hear it through the darkness,
Like some sweet and far-off hymn.
Nothing is too hard for Jesus,
No one works like Him.
