A load is a heavy burden, and God wants us to unload our burdens at His feet daily. When he was betrayed by his trusted confidant, David sang in peaceful worship. He consoled himself by prayer and faith. He ended with exultation to the saints.

Our burdens ought to be laid before the Lord. The wisdom we possess we give it back to the Lord, who gives us a reasonable portion of suffering. And we ought to take it back to Him in prayer. He will sustain us.

The Lord is more than enough to bear our burdens and trials. He will never let the righteous be shaken or moved, though He may move and even bend like a tree. We must stand firm when we stand in God. The godly not only stand, but with stand.

David, by way of godly wisdom, tells us that we have to put it all in the Lord because 99.5% won’t do. We can’t carry our burdens or our cares, no matter our circumstances, God is more capable than any man could ever be. We’ve got to unload ourselves.

Unload that which clogs you. Unload excessive cargo. Unload depression, oppression, stress, and weights wearing us down. And when you do, you’ll be able to say to the Lord not to move the mountain, but give me the strength to climb…
