"Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, The God who is our salvation. Selah." Psalm 68:19

Blessed: sacred; holy; worthy of adoration, reverence and worship. With grateful hearts we thank and bless our glorious Lord. He IS the one who bears our burdens. Read Psalm 139. It so richly reveals how intimate the Lord is with each of His own. Psalm 68 is another of the Psalms of King David.  How well he knew the daily intimate care of the Lord.

The Amplified Bible states our opening verse as follows:
"Blessed be the Lord, Who bears our burdens and carries us day by day, even the God Who is our salvation! Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

Yes, lay hold of that truth -- daily He bears our burdens! How can I state that so surely? Because His Word says so! Psalm 23 is a wonderful statement of this very thing. So often, that Psalm is used at funerals, both Christian and Jewish, but it is a Psalm for the living; which tells of our wonderful Shepherd's care of His flock.

Perhaps verse 4 is the one that aligns it with funerals, but notice it reads, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for Thou art with me..."
Notice, it says 'walk through'. The circumstance may be dire, but we do not sit down in the midst of it -- we keep moving one step at a time.
And look again, our burden bearer is right there with us, we are not alone.
We are to 'trust in, rely on, cling to, our Shepherd, Christ Jesus.

Look at what Jesus says in John Chapter 10, "I am the Good Shepherd the Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep."
Vs 11
"I am the Good Shepherd, and I know My own, and My own know Me. Vs 14 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand." Vs 27-28 "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one."
Vs 29-30

Picture that, held up and covered over in the hands of God!! As we move on to the New Testament we read two very awesome and glorious verses, "...Christ in you, the hope of glory." Colossians 1:27 And Galatians 2:20, "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith of the Son of God, who loved me and delivered Himself up for me."

It is Christ who lives in each Believer, He is our burden bearer, nothing comes into our lives that He doesn't know about. It is God who "...causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28 We are not left to wonder what His purpose is, for verses 29 tells us, "For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first-born among many brethren."

Let us with one heart and one voice bless our gracious and loving Lord God now and forevermore. Amen
