In Pilgrim’s Progress, Christian carried a heavy burden on his back. It weighed him down. It dogged his steps. Then there was the scene where he rolled his burden at the foot of the cross.
Proverbs 16:3 says. “Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.” The word ‘commit’ is illustrated through a note in my Bible. “The picture is of a camel, burdened with a heavy load; when the load is to be removed, the camel kneels down, tilts far to one side, and the load rolls off.” We relinquish through prayer.
1 Peter 5:7 says, “Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” The Greek word for care is to divide the mind. The word denotes distractions, anxieties, burdens, and worries.”
2 Peter 1:3 says, “As His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue.” ALL means no exception. Cast your burdens at His feet. He already bore them on the cross. Isaiah 53:4.
