God clearly tells us to give Him our burdens but do we?
Chris delves into the heart of burdens that we are plagued with. It’s easy to say, “Trust God.” How do you do this when something dramatic happens such as illness or job loss? We forget that in Biblical times, it was no different. What about Job? It’s easy to think that Job is a character in a story. It’s real. His family really did die. It’s not pretend. I’m confident that I will accept my life over Job’s any day.
Chris brings up some interesting stuff. One thing that peaked my interest is hearing God’s voice. He talks about how ‘we think we need a certain amount in savings’ for our old age. I believe we should do our part. Guess what? God might have other plans. We do not see the same way He does. There’s God’s voice and then there is ‘our voice.’
These are hard times especially now with the economy. Jesus reminds us that we will have trouble but He has overcome the world. Amen!
If you are feeling burdened by life, pick up this book. There is a ton more stuff that Chris talks about in his book. You will clearly see that what may be a ‘burden’ in our life may turn into a ‘blessing.’
