Text: Psalm 55:22
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
God specializes in bearing the burdens of his people. Christ made a clarion call saying, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 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.” Matthew 11:28-29
This call is a general one to all who needs the help of God and the comfort of the Holy Spirit in one aspect or the other. Rest is available to those who have been troubled and tossed to and fro by the evil one. The Prince of Peace will still all the storms in your home, marriage, business, finance, ministry etc.
Again the word of God says, “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” Psalm 55:22
We all have burdens that we carry from time to time. But God is faithful; he will assist our burdens.
The 3rd stanza of the popular hymn says, “Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge– take it to the Lord in prayer! Do your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In his arms he’ll take and shield you; you will find a solace there.”
If you are not yet under the management of Jesus, why not repent of your sins, confess, forsake them and submit to the lordship of Christ today?
Prayer Nugget: Father, I submit to you completely, please help me carry my burdens in Jesus name.
