It is the Lord. The Lord, gracious and loving. The Lord, strong and wise. The Lord, the Creator and sustainer of all things. The Lord, like whom there is no other. This is the invitation we are given. It’s not just to fling off our burdens into nothingness or onto someone barely more capable than we are – it is to cast them on the Lord.
In those terms, then, casting is not just a command; it’s an act of logic! Why would we try and bear the weighty, complicated, troubling burdens of life when there is someone so much more equipped to bear them?
Why would we insist on hanging onto that which is better handled by another?
In that light, perhaps our refusal to cast our burdens on the Lord is more about our own pride and desire for control than it is about either the weight and complication of the burdens themselves or the ability of the Lord to handle them.
Right now, Christian, what burden are you bearing that feels too heavy? Too complicated? Too much in every way? There is another better equipped to bear it. If we will trust Him enough to do so. Psalm 55:22. Just cast to Him for am sure he cares.
Rev Samuel Muwonge.
