Our Burden Bearer

How truly remarkable!
The God of the universe, the Creator of all, the Most High and majestic King relieves us of burdens. He carries them, bears the weight of them and lightens our load.

Could it be that we have never fully been aware of the weight of such a burden? I mean, even among our worst days, He is already carrying part of the weight. Think how much heavier it would be if we did not know Him?

The penalty of sin and death ever looming over us.
Yet before we were born, He bore it upon Himself.

Yes indeed, may the Lord be praised!
For my heart is lighter,
my soul is relieved,
my mind at peace.

If we were unaware of the load He carried for us yesterday, let us hold our complaints today and express our gratitude.  For since He bears them day after day, let us consider His sacrifice, His willingness to serve, and His never ending love.

Day after day, let us praise the Lord!
