Apr 13, 2026 – Cast Burdens

Utmost – Psalm 55:22 – “Cast thy burden upon the Lord.” Chambers brings up an important point, “We must distinguish between the burden-bearing that is right and the burden-bearing that is wrong. We ought never to bear the burden of sin or of doubt, but there are burdens placed on us by God which He does not intend to lift off, He wants us to roll them back on Him…. He takes away the sense of responsibility by bringing in the realization of Himself…. the burden is lightened by the sense of companionship.”

Simpson – “Rejoice evermore” (1 Thess. V. 16). Simpson points out the importance of companionship with God as he takes us back to the murmurings of the Israelites in the wilderness, “The first break in their fellowship, the first falter in their advance, came when they began to doubt, and grieve, and fret. Oh, keep the heart from the perforations of depression, discouragement, distrust, and gloom, for Satan cannot crush a rejoicing and praiseful soul.”

Power – Jeremiah 23:28 – “The prophet who has a dream, let him tell his dream; but he who has My word, let him speak My word faithfully.”  Joyce reminds us that, “There is never a moment when God doesn’t keep His promises. We should also be faithful all the time to do what we know to do…. Get rid of the mixture of positive and negative, words of faith and fear, and be committed to speaking the right thing all the time…. then you will be in agreement with God and see amazing results in due time.”
