(J.R.
Miller, "Help for the Day")
"Cast your burden on the LORD--and He shall
sustain you"
Psalm 55:22
The promise is not that the Lord will remove the load we
cast upon Him, nor that He will carry it for us--but that
He will sustain us so that we may
carry it!
He does not free us from duty--but He strengthens us for
it.
He does not deliver us from conflict--but He enables us to
overcome.
He does not withhold or withdraw trial from us--but He
helps us in trial to be submissive and victorious, and makes it a
blessing to us.
He does not mitigate the hardness or severity of our
circumstances, taking away the difficult elements, removing the
thorns, making life easy for us--but He puts
Divine grace into our hearts, so that we can live sweetly in all
the hard, adverse circumstances!
"My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect
in weakness!" 2 Corinthians 12:9
