Ps.55.22 – Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Good morning brethren, still talking about rest. Most times in search of rest, we turn to people that are dare to us, close relative, church members brothers and sisters. Just like the writer of this Psalm. In the verse 12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
But it was who? First a man of his equal, his childhood friend they have shared a lot of secrets together, secondly; my guide someone he looked up to for guidance council, and thirdly my acquaintance. His best friend. It is said that every best friend have a best friend. And these three group of People know you better than anyone David had a very bad experience trying to find rest running to this group of people. And finally in our text he speaks out of experience saying”Cast your burden upon the Lord, for he shall sustain thee”
I don’t know what you are going through but I know this one thing. God has all it takes to see you through whatever you are going through. You can always depend on him to take your burden upon himself for he won’t let your feet to slip, with his right hand of righteousness, he will UP HOLD you and give you rest.
