Jesus Wants To Carry Your Load (Anxiety, Concerns, Fear, And Nervousness) Of Life If You Let Him

Psalms 55:22

Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.

Insight:

The Hebrew word for burden is yehab (ye-hawb’) meaning a lot, the care, what is given (by Providence).

The Lord has given or assigned believers to certain trials and testings which when you are in the midst of them, give it back to the Lord in prayer who will uphold you through it (1 Peter 5:7 “casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.”) This burden is given to all believers for our good to make us grow in the faith and to learn to rely solely on the Lord who will deliver us from our trials. Every believer has a condition in life (care, burden) for the purpose of drawing us nearer to Christ and to show us His faithfulness so whatever you are going through, give thanks to the Lord in advance knowing that He will deliver you and build up your faith so that you can help someone else whom He will send your way to encourage him/her with your testimony of God’s love and rescue. The strength that you need to find to endure is found only in Jesus Christ who will sustain you by holding you up with His righteous right hand and not let you fall (apostatize).

Psalms 94:18

If I say, “My foot is slipping,” Your faithful love will support me, LORD.

Psalms 37:24

Even if he trips, he will not fall headlong, for the LORD holds his hand.

Please read these verses below in its entirety to grasp how much Jesus loves you and the promise He made to those who seek first His kingdom and His righteousness. Whatever you are going through, know that Jesus has promised to take care of you.

Matthew 6:26-33

26 Look at the birds of the sky: They don’t sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you worth more than they? 27 Can any of you add a single cubit to his height by worrying? 28 And why do you worry about clothes? Learn how the wildflowers of the field grow: they don’t labor or spin thread. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was adorned like one of these! 30 If that’s how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, won’t He do much more for you—you of little faith? 31 So don’t worry, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ 32 For the idolaters eagerly seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.

Verse By Verse Through Revelation (14:16-20)

Those who dare to go against the Living God will pay for it with their lives

16 So the One seated on the cloud swung His sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.

The angel seized those who have rejected Jesus Christ and cast them into God’s wrath.

---

17 Then another angel who also had a sharp sickle came out of the sanctuary in heaven.

It seems that this angel came to help the other one seated on the cloud to gather the people and make them ready for judgment.

---

18 Yet another angel, who had authority over fire, came from the altar, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, “Use your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of grapes from earth’s vineyard, because its grapes have ripened.”

The phrase “Yet another angel, who had authority over fire” most likely refers to the angel mentioned in Revelation 16:8 which will bring a plague upon those who dwell on the earth by making them burn, causing the sun to get extremely hot.

The angel with the authority over fire, tells the other angels that it is time to gather the clusters of grapes which refer to the disobedient. Their sin has come to its full capacity and now they will answer for it (Joel 3:13).

---

19 So the angel swung his sickle toward earth and gathered the grapes from earth’s vineyard, and he threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath.

This passage could refer to bringing the nation’s army against Israel so that the Lord can judge them and wipe them out (Ezekiel 38:1-9, 14-16, 18-22).

---

20 Then the press was trampled outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press up to the horses’ bridles for about 180 miles.

“Then the press was trampled outside the city” this will take place outside of Jerusalem.

The 180 miles give a clear indication that it will be an immense army that will come against the Jewish people to wipe them out of the face of the earth if it is referring to Gog. But nonetheless, whichever army or nation(s), it makes it very clear that many people who attempt to go against the Living God will pay for it with their lives.

A Message From The Lord

Deuteronomy 7:6 (HCSB)

6 For you are a holy people belonging to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be His own possession out of all the peoples on the face of the earth.

This verse is a reference to the Israelites who came from the line of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob who was renamed Israel. That statement wasn’t only for the Jewish people but for all who would put their faith and trust in the true Living God, Jesus Christ. Scripture is always meant to be taken in two different ways so that we may live according to it.

• Scripture is understood in its full context and in light of the time that it was written. For prophecies, one looks for future fulfillment and for those things that have been fulfilled. But the general way for Biblical interpretation is left to two ways of interpreting.
• Scripture is understood in way of application to one’s life or situation.

For examples of  these two ways of interpretation we go to verses like: 

Romans 15:4

For whatever was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that we may have hope through endurance and through the encouragement from the Scriptures.

Psalm 102:18

This will be written for the generation to come, That a people yet to be created may praise the LORD.

Romans 4:22-25

22 Therefore, it was credited to him for righteousness. 23 Now it was credited to him was not written for Abraham alone, 24 but also for us. It will be credited to us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. 25 He was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.

Now saying that the Lord Jesus Christ has chosen you to be his special possession, He wants us to be holy because He is holy and to live a life that reflects His so that He may bless you with plenty of rewards. He will bring the rewards with Him when He comes for us. If you look at it, Jesus wants us to live in righteousness to reward us even though it isn’t us working but it is the Spirit who dwells inside us. Everything that Jesus does for His children is good. He chose you, to love you, to bless you so that you may enjoy your blessing with Him in the place that He has prepared for you.

The starting point for living for Christ takes place in our conversion by faith in Jesus then, we read about Him in Scripture, talk to Him in prayer and walk like Him in life. You don’t want people to see you but you want people to see Jesus in you.

In my cell phone today, I got a message that read: “a message from the Lord” which is a Bible app that I have which gave me Deuteronomy 7:6. Mind you, it never said it like that before. I know it wasn’t for me to keep in my heart but to share it with all believers in Jesus Christ. This message is for you too. God bless you all.
