God will not fail you

“Oh look!  God’s right here helping!

God’s on my side…”

Psalm 54:4

“Pile your troubles on God’s shoulders-

He’ll carry your load, he’ll help you out.

He’ll never let good people

Topple into ruin.”

Psalm 55:22-23

Look with your heart; look with your God-eyes, God is with you.  He is waiting for you to put the weight of your world onto his shoulders and give you relief from worry, burden, and fear.  So, take a moment and give it all – A.L.L – to God.  He is waiting to help you – just ask - he will not let you down.

You won't have to do it alone

“… I’ll take some of the spirit that is on you and place it on them; they’ll then be able to take some of the load of this people – you won’t have to carry the whole thing alone.”  Numbers 11:16-17, The Message

When life is weighing you down with obligation and burden, cry out to God – He will send you the people and/or resources you need to help you carry the load.

 

No more burn out!

“… This is no way to go about it.  You’ll burn out…  This is way too much for you – you can’t do this alone…  Keep a sharp eye out for competent men – men who fear God, men of integrity, men who are incorruptible… They will share your load and that will make it easier for you.  If you handle the work this way, you’ll have the strength to carry out whatever God commands you, and the people in their settings will flourish also.”  Exodus 18:17-23, The Message

Some of us aren’t so good at asking for help, which means, some of us are really good at burning out.  Well, life is just too short!  God has a big plan for our lives and burning out is not one of them.  So, next time we feel we have the world packed on our shoulders, let’s start finding good women and men of God to lend a helping hand.  They are out there, and with prayer and patience, we will find them.  Not only that, when we ask for help, we are giving another person a chance to shine in their field, which helps us to shine even brighter in ours, and that is definitely something we can all use more of.
