“Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.”
Psalms 68:19 NIV
One of the invaluable characteristics of our God, our Savior, is that He is the ultimate Burden Bearer. I have made it a point in my devotion time, each morning, to ask God to show me what His daily load is for that day. You know what? He shows it to me, it is so exciting to see God’s blessing on my life. He doesn’t say that it is daily, weekly, monthly, occasionally, yearly or maybe, but daily. Every day irrespective of the day, but every day, 365 days a year as long as we live. Count on it that every day of our lives that God will daily, without hesitation or reluctance or weariness or inability but assuredly, wholeheartedly competently, compassionately and lovingly bear our burdens whatever they be, we are daily loaded with benefits. That's difficult to see on some days, isn't it? On the days when everything seems to fall apart and nothing seems to get done, it's hard to see the benefits. When our clothes are tight and the money is even tighter, it's easy to become blind to the blessings around us. When the car won't start, the washing machine dies and your head won't quit throbbing, the last thing on your mind is God's goodness, right? But why is that? Why is it so much easier for us to see the trials than it is to see the blessings? They are even more numerous, yet they often go unnoticed. The psalmist had it right. God does not occasionally sprinkle His blessings upon us. He loads us down with them daily. Too often, we live our lives weighed down, but we're weighed down by all the wrong things. It's time to stop focusing on the negative and start looking at the positive. The more time we spend thinking about our blessings, the more we'll realize just how loaded down we are. Plus, the more time we spend thinking about our blessings, the less we'll have to think about our trials. Today, I urge you to ignore the howls and cries of the trials in your life. Yes, they're present, and yes, they must be dealt with. But they don't deserve all your attention. Give ear to the blessings. Pay attention to all the good things that God is doing in your life. I promise you it's a much better use of your time and energy!!!
