That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord and there is none else. –Isaiah 45:6 KJV
We all have things in our life that we question. Maybe there’s something tugging on the back of your mind right now begging for your attention. Maybe it’s a loved one who is struggling or maybe you’re trying to figure out how to pay for groceries, your new mortgage, and a car loan. Whatever is on your mind might feel like a heavyweight strapped to your back, but know that it doesn’t have to be that way. There’s no easy fix that will make everything fall into place, but there is God—and He loves you and wants to shoulder your burden.God says that His burden is light. Rest in the fact that He will help carry the load. Not that He’ll take the responsibility and let you sit on your hands; but as you press on, He will carry the stress, the weight, and the burden. In place of that weight, He will give you peace and joy. The One who created it all, the One in control, and the One who sees every detail of your situation is faithful and worthy of trust.
If there’s an area causing you stress today, ask God for help.
Thank God and rest in the knowledge that He is in control.
