你要把你的重担卸给耶和华。(诗55:22)

我们必须分辨什么是我们所当负的担子,又什么是我们不当背负的。


我们千万不要背负罪与疑惑的担子,但有些担子却是神放在我们身上的。神之所以不把担子挪开,是要我们把这些担子卸给祂。“把祂放在你身上的卸给祂。”


如果我们为神承担一份工作,却与祂失去联络,那责任感会压得你透不过气来;但我们若懂得把神放在我们身上的,转回给祂,有祂的同在,那责任感的担子就得以卸下。


不少工人凭着一腔热血,鼓起勇气出去,却与耶稣基督没有亲密的相交,所以不消多久,就受压难当。他们不知如何应付重担,结果便产生了厌倦。人们会说:“好一个开头,落得如此凄凉的收场!”


“把重担卸给神”——你一向自负重担,现在要把担子的一端放在神的肩头上。“政权必担在祂肩头上。”把神给你的委付与神;不是把它丢掉,而是把它连自己一起交给祂,与神同工,担子便变得轻省了。切勿让自己与担子分开。

祈祷


主啊,求祢呼唤我的名字,让我因那奇妙的呼唤而振奋!祢一次的呼唤、一次的接触,将会带来何等大的改变,我们都会在狂喜之中!噢,为何祢不是经常这样做呢?

What To Do When Your Burden Is Overwhelming


Cast your burden on the Lord… —Psalm 55:22


We must recognize the difference between burdens that are right for us to bear and burdens that are wrong. We should never bear the burdens of sin or doubt, but there are some burdens placed on us by God which He does not intend to lift off. God wants us to roll them back on Him— to literally “cast your burden,” which He has given you, “on the Lord….” If we set out to serve God and do His work but get out of touch with Him, the sense of responsibility we feel will be overwhelming and defeating. But if we will only roll back on God the burdens He has placed on us, He will take away that immense feeling of responsibility, replacing it with an awareness and understanding of Himself and His presence.


Many servants set out to serve God with great courage and with the right motives. But with no intimate fellowship with Jesus Christ, they are soon defeated. They do not know what to do with their burden, and it produces weariness in their lives. Others will see this and say, “What a sad end to something that had such a great beginning!”


“Cast your burden on the Lord….” You have been bearing it all, but you need to deliberately place one end on God’s shoulder. “…the government will be upon His shoulder” (Isaiah 9:6). Commit to God whatever burden He has placed on you. Don’t just cast it aside, but put it over onto Him and place yourself there with it. You will see that your burden is then lightened by the sense of companionship. But you should never try to separate yourself from your burden.
