“Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.” (Psalm 55:22, NASB)
“One translation read, “Cast what he has given thee upon the Lord.”
Burdens are not accidents but appointments. The burdens you have in your life today are what God has ordained for you – unless they are the result of your own rebellious sin against Him. Burdens help us grow; they help us exercise the muscles of our faith. They teach us how to trust God and live a day at a time …
He’s going to use problems to build your character. But He’ll make sure the righteous will not be moved. Cast your burden on the Lord. Let Him sustain you today.
Giving your burden to God is an act of faith. But giving yourself to Him and letting Him use that burden to help you grow is taking an extra step of faith. He will invest that burden in building your character. Give you burdens to the Lord.”

Today I am joining … Scripture & a Snapshot .
Thank youâ™¥ï¸ Good words to begin this Sunday.
I want to remember where my sustenance comes from.
That’s a comfort when trials come–that He has a reason for them and will help us with them. We just have to remember to give them to Him instead of trying to bear them ourselves alone.
What a comfort! I just need to have faith enough to hand that burden over to him.
