Times of deep trial and testing are definitely heavy and burdensome. However, it seems to me that it is the daily burdens that we bear that are especially trying and wearisome. Daily burdens can be as mundane as the seemingly endless piles of laundry, the never ending sinks full of dirty dishes, referreeing squabbles between your children, the stresses of your nine to five job, or the challenges that arise in our day to day relationships. It is the repetitive, never ending dailiness of our responsibilities and burdens that can wear us out and wear us down.
I am so thankful, so amazed, that God bears with me and bears my burdens day after day, week after week, month after month, and year after year. (Join me for the rest of this post on Sunday, June 11th, at Woman to Woman Ministries where each Sunday I share a bit of Sunday Soul Food!)
still following,
You are so right that the daily burdens are the hardest to bear. They wear you down in subtle and persistent ways. Thank the Lord He supports us in the small stuff too! Thanks for sharing on the #sundaythoughts link up.
ReplyDeleteLeaning on His support always, that's the key to surviving and thriving!
DeleteWhat a great scripture sharing and reminder that he is always there. Sometimes, when I'm not really on my best behavior mood wise, I feel I've maybe overstepped my bounds. Then something happens to remind me that he understands and is still by my side. Thanks for sharing this lovely scripture along with your beautiful flower photo. :)
