The longer I worry about something, the more my fears weight me down.
King David knew about fear. His whole life had been turned upside down. His son Absalom had stolen the allegiance of the nation of Israel from him and was attempting to take the throne for himself. David didn’t know who was loyal to him and who was against him. His only option seemed to be to run. He said to his servants, ‘Make haste to depart, lest overtake us suddenly and bring disaster upon us’. In a psalm that David may have written while he was fleeing for his life, he wrote: I cried to the Lord with my voice and He heard me from His holy hill. In the midst of his fear, David looked to the Lord. God showed him grace and restored him to the throne.
There are plenty of worries that can weight us down.
But as we release them into God’s strong hands, He will help us through our trials.
Thank You, Lord, that we do not have to be
Weight down by worry. Help us to place our
Concerns in Your care so that
We do not fear tomorrow.
Worry is a burden that God never meant for us to bear.
