Lay the burdens down before your burdens take you down.
1 Peter 5:7, Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
I preach a message, every once in a while, about burdens. I ask a burly, tough guy to come forward, taking a can of soda, and placing it on his out stretched hand. I tell him, “If you can hold it the entire time I’m preaching, it’s yours.” After a little while, that tough guy is struggling with the weight of that soda.
Friend, no matter how small of a burden you carry around, it will take you down if you continue to try to carry it. You will stumble over it because it gets in the way of serving the Lord. The longer you hold it, the more it will hurt after you do lay it down. The best thing to do, is to trust Him, giving Christ the burdens because He cares for you.
