LORD, MY LOAD KEEPS GETTING HEAVY: I CAN’T BEAR IT ALONE: HELP ME KEEP THE FAITH
Lord we may be in a position when we feel that all is lost, and the Light of day has faded away; putting us in a place of darkness, uncertainties, and anxiety. So, to all who profess to be a child of God, it is highly recommended that we become more aware of which direction God is allowing and leading us, by way of the many types of burdens He is putting this world through. We are to observe His ways, inquiry of His Will, and seek information from His Word; know that now is the time to stay committed to our faith in God, and through our Lord Jesus; connected to His Word, Will, and Way. Yes, our burdens may get heavier than we have experienced but as a child of the One and Only True God, walking according to His will, we will prevail. Because You, God of Heaven and earth are still in control. So, don’t be afraid of whatever God allows (understand that if God doesn’t allow it will not happen) to come about because it is all a part of His plan, His Word, His Will, His Way: We are used according to your purposed purpose for each of us. (Philippians 3:7-9 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:)
We all get worried, but we must learn to trust in God (lean not on our own understanding) and try His Way (Jesus) to find a calm in our chaotic world. We must understand that burdens placed upon a true child of God is not to hurt or harm but to show (the true strength we possess in Christ) and to grow (our relationship with God, through Christ). Unlike the burdens placed on one who is yet out in the world, teetering on the fence of life, or those who are just afraid to commit (they think that they are giving up something worth keeping; you are not), to a new and better way of life. These burdens or promptings, if you will, are given so as to help all who will, see God’s Light, to help bring them out of the darkness, in which the world has so cleverly disguised as the way of righteousness. When you have God and Jesus in your life you are not exempted from facing trials, going through troubles, or tribulations but you go through with wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of it all; with an ease, patience, and peace, all covered by the true love God has given us toward one another. (Proverbs 3:5-6 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Philippians 4:6-9 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you).
Children of God cannot be of help to others if they are the ones who continuously show defeat in this ungodly world; crying over and compromising with everything the world say is right. Which Jesus said would happen in the end times. What’s happening now? This is a huge burden placed on all but especially the ones who do not know God through Jesus. So, in order for you and me to rid ourselves of the burdens we are carrying around like badges of honor, (those badges associated with the world, greed, hate, selfishness, immorality, corruption, slanderous, etc.) and develop the badges of righteous (so we will be able to help our fellow man maneuver through his trials, troubles, and tribulations, as God through Jesus directs us), we must learn to depend on YHWH, God, in Yashuah, Jesus’ name. I have long-love for my God and others, I am a long-winded, long-willed, child of God. Who, more often than not, like most of us these days, become unnecessarily anxious about that which can’t be seen nor controlled by us, yet we get all bent out of shape, blame others, blame ourselves, blame God, we fret over it. But God, creator of man and all things, sees it all and have the answers already in His hand; waiting to give them to us when we come to Him in honest expectation that we are going to receive them. And stop complaining and being complacent! Gods got it and He will work it out. (Isaiah 41:9-11 9 Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away. 10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. 11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish).
Our burdens of dread and unnecessary anticipation become too heavy simply because we think that we know the what, why, and how to do what only God can and will do. We have this tendency, even children of God, to put Yashuah, Jesus’ guide for living the life God wants us to have on our “Only when Needed” shelf. And then, when we have tried to do everything for self and we get everything all twisted, turned around, and the process of our proceeding comes to an abrupt standstill, only then do we seek help from YAH; the righteous thing to do is take and keep Him off of our imaginary shelf of self-sufficiency and call out to our Father, in Yashuah, Jesus’ name, before you do anything. This way you are covered from the start. (Matthew 6:31-34 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble).
When we stop concentrating on our own problems (burdens) and help others, we will find that our situation or circumstance is not as bad as it seems. The acts of kindness boost the feeling of confidence. It gives us a sense of control over something good that we did. In the long run it makes us happy, and optimism. It takes the focus off of you and places it on someone who may truly need it. So, when we become entangled in ourselves, YAH, Yashuah, knows how to get our attention. He steps back and allows the plans, points and positions we thought we could handle alone, to serve us up a cold dish of harsh reality: We cannot, as children of the Most High, accomplish anything of value on our own. We need to help one another to realize and bring to completion the reality needed, to achieve God’s desires, promises, or predictions. God will not forget, unlike man, the work we do for others. His hope for us is that we continue to be diligent in our hope in Him until the end; helping others even in our stormy days. (Galatians 6:2 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. Hebrews 6:9-11 9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. 10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:)
We find the roads we have so skillfully thought of, crafted, and prepared and eventually take, cause us to experience worry, become uneasy, or nervous; miserable. This is due to the fact that we don’t know what to expect regarding the uncertainty of the outcome; we did not seek God first. It has not been sanctioned by God. The brick wall we run into levels us to the point where it leaves us crying out to God for help; that which we should have sought from Him (help, guidance, blessing, all the goodness, mercy, and grace He would pour upon a sound aspiration) in the first place, before we undertook it. He said to seek Him first, in all we do, and the rest shall be added unto; meaning that when we put Him first, acknowledging that we can do nothing (that is of consequences and will last) without His grace and mercy, stamp of approval, and strength, He will see it come to past. Now, understand God never gets in a hurry but what He does for us is always, right on time (sometimes before our answers come, we may need some cleaning up and cleaning out to prepare us for what we ask for and what He has for us, before it is seen) and it will last as long as we remain committed and connected to Him through Jesus. But God will never tempt us with evil, that’s Satan’s job; He gives us the strength and weapons to endure. (Galatians 6:1-3 1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself). (James 1:11-13 11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. 12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:)
An awesome and honoring way of getting rid of your way of thinking, feeling, and acting toward the cares of this world; that you have come to the end of a journey which you thought would be the one that last a lifetime, or the one which would be the calm in your storm of life, is to commit yourself to God. So, when a heaviness come upon you and it seem that you can’t see a clear, secured path, one you can’t bear, have a talk with our LORD, God. And all He has, is, and will do for you and yours, (until the cows come home and beyond) will be revealed to you. But talking about the Word (which is my favorite thing to do) does not prevent things of ill-repute from coming our way. Although it will soothe our soul and set our mind and heart on higher things of heaven and free us from the excess baggage collected over a long period of time; one that most of us don’t take the time to address and clean out: It’s like the elephant in the room. Everyone knows it is there, because of its enormity, but no one wants to acknowledge or talk about it. Jesus has conquered the elephant and all of its residual effects it has on us. But we are to be opened and acceptance of the fact that when we look to Jesus, who authored and will finish our very existence, we know that we do not to live a weary, worn life. Because Jesus has endured all the shame and pain for us. (Ephesians 4:22-24 22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness). (Hebrews 12:1-3 1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds).
Sometimes, especially as we are going through, it is hard for us to stop talking, to hear the answers to the many questions asked, regarding our designated load, in life. When trials, troubles, and tribulations are allowed to come upon us, from the LORD, it is usually one which we need to make us strong. They are there in order to prepare us for what is coming our way (what He has for us or what the world will throw at us). It could be something, or someone placed in your life, which you will have to deal with (no getting around it or them) until God says enough. Or it could be a task God has given you and you feel you are not qualified to do it. One thing is for sure. If God gives it to you or face it, He will equip you and strengthen you through it. It is the part in life that we carry (whether we chose to carry it, or it was given to us) to mature and qualify us to be the best we can and bring us closer to perfection as YHWH, God, through Yashuah, Jesus would have us to be. Burdens are often presented as tests or a revelation, to move us up in the relationship we have formed, is forming, or will form with and in God’s service. Not because we necessarily deserve or want but because for other reasons unknown to us, yet known to the Father, if we are to fight the good fight and overcome the burdens we face, we must commit to the task at hand; loving God, self, and others. (James 1:2-3 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience).
It is hard carrying a burden you feel you did nothing to cause, do not deserve or one that has been a part of your life so long you can’t remember being without it. And even though you continue to pray, praise, and try and put on the loving, happy, compassionate face, for others, some burdens suck the life out of you. But as we become more and more aware that when it is from God (not something we, out of sin, put upon self or allowed someone else to author it) we began to understand the Word, Will, and Way of our Father, through His Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ. We will, therefore, seek the comfort and belief of it, knowing that it is for our good and our eternal gain. (Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose). GODS GOT IT, NO WORRY NO FEAR.
