The Key verse in this psalm is Verse 22.
Cast your burden on the Lord,
And He shall sustain you;
He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.
every burden carries a lot of weight.
how much weight can a person carry.
Can you carry 20 pounds bag. How long a person can carry a 20 pounds bag.
Every weight you carry have to get down at some point and have rest.
The physical weight you carry might just hurt the body.
But the weight of burdens of the heart are more heavier than physical weight.
It brings down a person.How strong physically a person may be, but when a burden is there in heart, that strong person will be down.
David is an example for that , look at verses 4-6
What is this big burden that David had?
you may think, What is new he always had enemies.
V12 - 14
Not an enemy.
Companion - shared joyful and tough times.
acquaintance - A familiar friend - who often visits him.
He is a man of my equal. He is a peer
Took counsel together
Worshiped together.
This man who went to Church with him shared with him, familiar to him. has betrayed David.
Similar to how judas betrayed Son of David.
To understand this let turn to
2 Samuel 17: 1 - 3
Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Now let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue David tonight. 2 I will come upon him while heis weary and weak, and make him afraid. And all the people who are with him will flee, and I will strike only the king. 3 Then I will bring back all the people to you. When all return except the man whom you seek, all the people will be at peace.” 4 And the saying pleased Absalom and all the elders of Israel.
V 23:
Now when Ahithophel saw that his advice was not followed, he saddled a donkey, and arose and went home to his house, to his city. Then he put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died; and he was buried in his father’s tomb.
See the burden that David had , his own friend is counselling against him.
and with this heavy heart and he turned to God.
He has seen the burden and realized that it too heavy for me to carry and finally he says in verse 22, cast the burden, cast you weight on the Lord. He can give us the Sabbath rest.
It is by Faith that we can be at rest.
What is the burden that we have today?
Every burden has great weight. As long as you carry it by yourself it can bring you down. but by Faith when we give it to Lord. that anxiety will go and you will be at rest.
