Burdens

[Bob Wille (Family)]

“My grace is sufficient for you”
2 Corinthians 12:9
The apostle Paul wanted relief from his present suffering,
and infirmity that made him feel weak.
Each time [God] said, "No. But I am with you; that is all you need.
My power shows up best in weak people."

God didn’t take away the problem.
Instead, He gave Paul the grace to live with it.
Difficulties burden us as we mull them over in our minds,
affecting our relationships and our outlook on life.
We as believers in Christ have a place to take these burdens.
1 Peter 5:7 tells us,
“Cast all your care upon the Lord, for He cares for you.”

Naturally, God Speaks

I've heard it said that God does one of two things when we reach breaking point: He either changes the situation, or He gives us more strength.

I believe God allows burdens to build us up while He watches over us. What we encounter down the road strengthening and preparing us to minister to others who need Christ.

Assuming that we truly have faith in a loving, caring God, then we can face whatever we encounter. Starting at Deuteronomy 32:10 is recorded what's referred to as "the Song of Moses"
"In a desert land, He (God) found him, in a barren and howling waste. He shielded him and cared for him; He guarded him as the apple of his eye...."
Then in 1 Kings 8:57 it says: "The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers. May he not leave us or forsake us..." That is a prayer that God ALWAYS answers when we DO stay faithful to Him.
