Psalms 55:22
Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee:
he shall never suffer(allow) the righteous to be moved.
God is glad to carry your burdens and give you the daily strength you need.
Some translations say “cast your burdens on the Lord.” The reality is we all have things we care about that we are worried about. They result in burdens we bear.
For David- his burden was the betrayal by his close friend. For you it might be something different. Whatever is weighing you down we are called to cast it, or give it, to God, the idea is that we would start our day with the Lord, walk in the Spirit, abiding in the Vine (John 15:1). In this way, our felt cares will be few. But since even Jesus experienced cares, we should not be surprised if in a fallen world where the devil prowls (1 Peter 5:8) we sometimes get caught off guard. Then we must go to God and lift our cares from our shoulders and cast them onto the one who is infinitely able to carry it. He shall sustain you… If you cast all your cares upon the Lord, David reveals what will happen. He will sustain you
Jesus says it this way: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
“He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.”
The righteous are those who love God, love what is right and do what is right. A key element of being righteous is casting all cares on God. It dishonors God for us to do his job, and do it without him (His burdens on our shoulders will crush us).
It is pride and self-importance that cause us to disobey this command. But if we die to self (Matthew 16:24-25) we will walk in him alone, righteous and whole, and never be shaken by anything.
Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To lose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?” (Isaiah 58:6). It’s not God’s will that you should be crushed down with excessive burdens; let Him free you today.
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10). Through faith His strength becomes yours, and He reaches out to keep you from falling.
Prophetic Utterance :
The Lord is my strength
I shall not be moved by circumstances
I fear not for God is with me
The Lord sustains me in all spheres
I rest in the promises of God.
