Cast your burden on the LORD, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:12
Cast
Have you ever fished? Or watched someone fish? Fishermen cast the line.
If someone is a castaway, he is cut off from society.
If something is cast off, it’s undesirable and we get rid of it.
Sustain
God promises to trade burdens for support, relief and refreshment.
We can keep our burdens and sustain ourselves,
Or we can throw the burdens on the Lord and He will sustain us.
Permit
Never. He will not allow, He will not consent to, He will not make a way.
Nothing happens outside His will.
This is confidence that the things entrusted to Him will be completely kept and handled.
Casting your burden on Him is the right decision.
Moved
We can’t fall away. We can’t slip away. We can’t be stolen away.
If we cast the burden on Him, He won’t allow our faith to be shaken.
So why is it such a hard decision to cast the burden on the Lord?
