When God Places a Burden Upon You, He Places His Arms Beneath You!


Charles Spurgeon captured a precious truth of Scripture: “When God places a burden upon you, He places His arms underneath you.” The Lord never lays a load on His children and then walks away. The same hand that assigns the trial is the hand that holds us up!


David knew this firsthand. “Give your burdens to the Lord. He will carry them. He will not permit the godly to slip or fall” (Psalm 55:22, TLB). The command is not merely to endure, but to cast—to roll the weight off our shoulders onto His. God does not always remove the burden; He carries both the burden and the one who bears it.

Isaiah heard the same promise: “Fear not, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed. I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you with My victorious right hand” (Isaiah 41:10, TLB). And again, even into old age: “I made you and I will care for you. I will carry you along and be your Savior” (Isaiah 46:4, TLB). The God Who formed us in the womb still carries us when our strength is gone.


Jesus made the invitation personal: “Come to Me and I will give you rest—all of you who work so hard beneath a heavy yoke. Wear My yoke—for it fits perfectly—and let Me teach you; for I am gentle and humble, and you shall find rest for your souls; for I give you only light burdens” (Matthew 11:28-30, TLB). His yoke is not the crushing weight of self-effort or religious performance. It is partnership with the One who already bore the heaviest load—our sin—on the Cross.


Paul learned this in weakness. Three times he pleaded for the thorn to be taken away. The answer was, “No. But I am with you; that is all you need. My power shows up best in weak people” (2 Corinthians 12:9, TLB). The burden remained, but so did the presence and power of Christ.


Whatever God has placed on you today—illness, grief, responsibility, unanswered prayer—He has not left you to stagger alone.


His everlasting arms are underneath.


Cast the weight on Him.


Lean hard.


His strength is made perfect in your weakness, and His grace is sufficient.


The Burden-Bearer Himself walks with you, and He will carry you all the way home!

AMEN!


The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty,

creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,

Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, died, and was buried;

He descended to the dead.

On the third day He rose again;

He ascended into heaven,

He is seated at the right hand of the Father,

and He will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the Christian Church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and the life everlasting.

Amen.

CONTINUE:

Let us Praise Him Daily!

A good way to learn to Praise God is to memorize the first 6 Verses of Psalms 148:

1 Praise the Lord, O heavens! Praise Him from the skies!

2 Praise Him, all His angels, all the armies of heaven.

3 Praise Him, sun and moon and all you twinkling stars.

4 Praise Him, skies above. Praise Him, vapors high above the clouds.

5 Let everything He has made give praise to Him. For He issued His command, and they came into being;

6 He established them forever and forever. His orders will never be revoked.

 

PLEASE read the last 6 Chapters of Psalms: 145-150 so that you will learn how to Praise God like David did!

DAILY BIBLE READING:

>2. PLUS: 1 NEW Chapter from the Old Testament AND

>3. PLUS: 1 NEW Chapter from the New Testament Daily:

Chapter 01 in Proverbs for today: (OCTOBER 30 (MT) (ESV)

  1. 1 The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:

    2 To know wisdom and instruction,
        to understand words of insight,
    3 to receive instruction in wise dealing,
        in righteousness, justice, and equity;
    4 to give prudence to the simple,
        knowledge and discretion to the youth—
    5 Let the wise hear and increase in learning,
        and the one who understands obtain guidance,
    6 to understand a proverb and a saying,
        the words of the wise and their riddles.

    7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
        fools despise wisdom and instruction.

    The Enticement of Sinners

    8 Hear, my son, your father’s instruction,
        and forsake not your mother’s teaching,
    9 for they are a graceful garland for your head
        and pendants for your neck.
    10 My son, if sinners entice you,
        do not consent.
    11 If they say, “Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood;
        let us ambush the innocent without reason;
    12 like Sheol let us swallow them alive,
        and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
    13 we shall find all precious goods,
        we shall fill our houses with plunder;
    14 throw in your lot among us;
        we will all have one purse”—
    15 my son, do not walk in the way with them;
        hold back your foot from their paths,
    16 for their feet run to evil,
        and they make haste to shed blood.
    17 For in vain is a net spread
        in the sight of any bird,
    18 but these men lie in wait for their own blood;
        they set an ambush for their own lives.
    19 Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust gain;
        it takes away the life of its possessors.

    The Call of Wisdom

    20 Wisdom cries aloud in the street,
        in the markets she raises her voice;
    21 at the head of the noisy streets she cries out;
        at the entrance of the city gates she speaks:
    22 “How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple?
    How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing
        and fools hate knowledge?
    23 If you turn at my reproof,[a]
    behold, I will pour out my spirit to you;
        I will make my words known to you.
    24 Because I have called and you refused to listen,
        have stretched out my hand and no one has heeded,
    25 because you have ignored all my counsel
        and would have none of my reproof,
    26 I also will laugh at your calamity;
        I will mock when terror strikes you,
    27 when terror strikes you like a storm
        and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,
        when distress and anguish come upon you.
    28 Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer;
        they will seek me diligently but will not find me.
    29 Because they hated knowledge
        and did not choose the fear of the Lord,
    30 would have none of my counsel
        and despised all my reproof,
    31 therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way,
        and have their fill of their own devices.
    32 For the simple are killed by their turning away,
        and the complacency of fools destroys them;
    33 but whoever listens to me will dwell secure
        and will be at ease, without dread of disaster.”

    1. Proverbs 1:23 Or Will you turn away at my reproof?

CHAPTER 2 LAMENTATIONS for today: (OCTOBER 1 (L) (ESV)

2 How the Lord in his anger
    has set the daughter of Zion under a cloud!
He has cast down from heaven to earth
    the splendor of Israel;
he has not remembered his footstool
    in the day of his anger.

2 The Lord has swallowed up without mercy
    all the habitations of Jacob;
in his wrath he has broken down
    the strongholds of the daughter of Judah;
he has brought down to the ground in dishonor
    the kingdom and its rulers.

3 He has cut down in fierce anger
    all the might of Israel;
he has withdrawn from them his right hand
    in the face of the enemy;
he has burned like a flaming fire in Jacob,
    consuming all around.

4 He has bent his bow like an enemy,
    with his right hand set like a foe;
and he has killed all who were delightful in our eyes;
    in the tent of the daughter of Zion,
he has poured out his fury like fire.

5 The Lord has become like an enemy;
    he has swallowed up Israel;
he has swallowed up all its palaces;
    he has laid in ruins its strongholds,
and he has multiplied in the daughter of Judah
    mourning and lamentation.

6 He has laid waste his booth like a garden,
    laid in ruins his meeting place;
the Lord has made Zion forget
    festival and Sabbath,
and in his fierce indignation has spurned king and priest.

7 The Lord has scorned his altar,
    disowned his sanctuary;
he has delivered into the hand of the enemy
    the walls of her palaces;
they raised a clamor in the house of the Lord
    as on the day of festival.

8 The Lord determined to lay in ruins
    the wall of the daughter of Zion;
he stretched out the measuring line;
    he did not restrain his hand from destroying;
he caused rampart and wall to lament;
    they languished together.

9 Her gates have sunk into the ground;
    he has ruined and broken her bars;
her king and princes are among the nations;
    the law is no more,
and her prophets find
    no vision from the Lord.

10 The elders of the daughter of Zion
    sit on the ground in silence;
they have thrown dust on their heads
    and put on sackcloth;
the young women of Jerusalem
    have bowed their heads to the ground.

11 My eyes are spent with weeping;
    my stomach churns;
my bile is poured out to the ground
    because of the destruction of the daughter of my people,
because infants and babies faint
    in the streets of the city.

12 They cry to their mothers,
    “Where is bread and wine?”
as they faint like a wounded man
    in the streets of the city,
as their life is poured out
    on their mothers’ bosom.

13 What can I say for you, to what compare you,
    O daughter of Jerusalem?
What can I liken to you, that I may comfort you,
    O virgin daughter of Zion?
For your ruin is vast as the sea;
    who can heal you?

14 Your prophets have seen for you
    false and deceptive visions;
they have not exposed your iniquity
    to restore your fortunes,
but have seen for you oracles
    that are false and misleading.

15 All who pass along the way
    clap their hands at you;
they hiss and wag their heads
    at the daughter of Jerusalem:
“Is this the city that was called
    the perfection of beauty,
    the joy of all the earth?”

16 All your enemies
    rail against you;
they hiss, they gnash their teeth,
    they cry: “We have swallowed her!
Ah, this is the day we longed for;
    now we have it; we see it!”

17 The Lord has done what he purposed;
    he has carried out his word,
which he commanded long ago;
    he has thrown down without pity;
he has made the enemy rejoice over you
    and exalted the might of your foes.

18 Their heart cried to the Lord.
    O wall of the daughter of Zion,
let tears stream down like a torrent
    day and night!
Give yourself no rest,
    your eyes no respite!

19 “Arise, cry out in the night,
    at the beginning of the night watches!
Pour out your heart like water
    before the presence of the Lord!
Lift your hands to him
    for the lives of your children,
who faint for hunger
    at the head of every street.”

20 Look, O Lord, and see!
    With whom have you dealt thus?
Should women eat the fruit of their womb,
    the children of their tender care?
Should priest and prophet be killed
    in the sanctuary of the Lord?

21 In the dust of the streets
    lie the young and the old;
my young women and my young men
    have fallen by the sword;
you have killed them in the day of your anger,
    slaughtering without pity.

22 You summoned as if to a festival day
    my terrors on every side,
and on the day of the anger of the Lord
    no one escaped or survived;
those whom I held and raised
    my enemy destroyed.

Revelation 09

for today: (OCTOBER  1 (NN) ESV)

9 And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit.[a] 2 He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft. 3 Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth. 4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 They were allowed to torment them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone. 6 And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them.

7 In appearance the locusts were like horses prepared for battle: on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces, 8 their hair like women’s hair, and their teeth like lions’ teeth; 9 they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle. 10 They have tails and stings like scorpions, and their power to hurt people for five months is in their tails. 11 They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon.[b]

12 The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come.

13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released to kill a third of mankind. 16 The number of mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number. 17 And this is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode them: they wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire[c] and of sulfur, and the heads of the horses were like lions’ heads, and fire and smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths. 18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents with heads, and by means of them they wound.

20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk, 21 nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

  1. Revelation 9:1 Greek the abyss; also verses 2, 11
  2. Revelation 9:11 Abaddon means destruction; Apollyon means destroyer
  3. Revelation 9:17 Greek hyacinth

The Steps to Salvation:

> Repent: Repentance means that you are turning away from sin to turn to Christ. It does NOT mean that you will be perfect.

> Believe/Receive: Salvation is through Faith in Jesus and by the Grace of God. Believing means putting your Faith in Jesus and receiving forgiveness of sin.

>Walk in the Newness of Life: Jesus died so that we might live. We walk in the Newness of Life being Born Again by His Blood.
