Bear the Cold

Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens. Psalm 68:19 NIV

We went car shopping today. Again. In a subtropical storm. We got rained on, the wind blew and the AC units were working overtime. Silly me forgot a sweater or jacket. I bore the burden of being cold all day. Very cold. Shivering cold. Since we've been driving a borrowed car, we didn't have our usual accoutrements with us, so I suffered in cold. As we drove home tonight I realized how much strain my shivering had put on my neck. It's now sore and tight.

But it will go away. I'll get warm and comfy and snuggle in my bed and tomorrow I'll be fine. For people who have chronic pain, they'll wake up tomorrow with no relief. They'll once again bear the burden of their pain, all day every day. I can't even imagine.

Jesus bears our burdens. Every. Single. Day. Every. Single. One. This leaves us to test and sleep on peace and wake up free from worry or pain.

Let God bear your burdens, even the ones you feel are too heavy.
