‘Many servants set out to serve God with great
courage and with the right motives. But with no intimate fellowship with Jesus
Christ, they are soon defeated. They do not know what to do with their burden,
and it produces weariness in their lives. Others will see this and say, “What a
sad end to something that had such a great beginning!”’ CHAMBERS

Peter 5:7 “Cast all your cares on Him, because He cares for
you”
It seems that there is no end to the troubles that
we face and the burdens that we must bear in this life. It doesn’t matter whether you are a Christian
or not. Where the difference lies is the
resource available to you to deal with those troubles and burdens. The point is not that, as a Christian, all of
your struggles will go away … but that the weight of those struggles will be
carried by God. Have you ever gotten to
the point where you just didn’t want to deal with a problem or a person
anymore? Whenever you thought of facing
whatever the burden is, you have an overwhelming feeling of weariness … dread …
maybe even fear.
Jesus said that troubles would come but that He
has overcome the world. Jesus is bigger
than any problem you will ever face. In
order to get relief from the weight of the matter, you must draw close to
Jesus. It doesn’t happen by magic … it
doesn’t happen by you trying harder … it happens by strengthening your
relationship with God. The troubles you face are like quicksand .. the more you
struggle .. the faster you sink. You
need to give it to Jesus. In our
weakness, His strength is made perfect. It
is by acknowledging that we can’t but He can.
Dr. Henry Blackaby calls it a crisis of belief … it is an issue of believing
what God said is true. And that crisis
of belief requires faith and action … you have to trust God and give up your
death grip on your troubles. Bondye

“Our God is greater, our God is stronger, God you
are higher than any other. Our God is Healer, Awesome in Power, Our God! Our

Our God is
greater, our God is stronger, God you are higher than any other. Our God is Healer, Awesome in Power, Our God!
Our God!
And if our
God is for us, then who could ever stop us. And if our God is with us, then what could
stand against.
And if our
God is for us, then who could ever stop us. And if our God is with us, then what could
stand against. Then what could stand against."
