All too often we let the past rob us of today. We let hurts, failures,  rejections, disappointments, fears, brokenness, bitterness and shame from our past keep us from getting on with life. We carry burdens that we were never meant to bear.

All too often we let the past rob us of today. We let hurts, failures,  rejections, disappointments, fears, brokenness, bitterness and shame from our past keep us from getting on with life. We carry burdens that we were not meant to bear. 

Psalm 55:22 tells us : 

Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.

The definition of “cast” means to throw something forcefully; to hurl or fling something away. When the Psalmist penned these words he could have used another word or phrase such as put your burden on the Lord or give your burden to the Lord, yet he chose the word “cast”.

Have you ever watched a fisherman “cast” a net. With all of his might he hurls that net far away from him and LETS GO. It’s a forceful, intentional thing. SO we must fling our burdens – hurl them with all we’ve got – upon the Lord and LET THEM GO and then hold tightly to the promise that HE will SUSTAIN US for He will NEVER permit the righteous to be moved.

Whatever burden you may be carrying right now, I want you to know that no matter how big it may be, it is not bigger than God! Go to Him, CAST your burden on Him and let it go. He WILL take care of you. He WILL sustain you because He said He would and He does not lie.

It’s time to stop letting your past keep you from living the life God has for you. It’s time to stop looking back and Look up. Let Go and Let God!

God loves you. He really does. I pray right now that you will FEEL His presence and KNOW how very much He does love you. May His peace overwhelm you and may you be overcome with His joy.

God Bless You
