Title: How Do You Reduce the Size of Your Problems?
Text:
Psalm 92:8 (KJV)
8 But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.
Psalm 93:4 (KJV)
4 The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
Observation:
Why would any believer, or non-believer for that matter, choose to carry the burden of our problems on our shoulders, when our Maker offers to carry them on His shoulders?
Matthew 11:28-30 (KJV)
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
I hear the protestations; you don't know what I'm going through. You are right, but it's not about what I know, it's about what God knows; it's about what Jesus says. This is what Jesus invites you to do.
1 Peter 5:6-7 (KJV)
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
The lyrics of the song written by Charles Tindley in 1909 encourages me today.
If the world from you withhold of its silver and gold,
And you have to get along with meager fare,
Just remember, in His Word, how He feeds the little bird -
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
Refrain:
Leave it there, leave it there,
leave it there, leave it there,
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there;
If you trust and never doubt, He will surely bring you out.
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
Prayer:
Father, I praise and thank You for being a God who loves, cares, and provides for Your children.
Father, help us to remember that when troubles come to take the upward look, and place our problems in Your hands.
Father, I thank You for the provisions, the promise, and the power that You possess to keep the promise of Jesus that You would see us through all of our troubles in the world. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
John 16:33 (ESV)
33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."
Words to Remember:
We shall overcome because of the power of God to overcome.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
