Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved (Psalm 55:22).
We sometimes hear the expression used, “ cast the burden,” and it is useful to consider what this phrase really means. Used intelligently, it is one of the great keys to spiritual victory. To cast the burden means really to insist upon harmony and peace of mind, and to cease from worry and anxiety there and then.
If, when you are faced with trouble, whether it be old or new, you can affirm positively the harmony of being and then refuse to reopen the case, no matter how much fear may urge you to do so, you have cast your burden upon the Lord, and you will win.
The harmony of being is the truth and the reality created by God. When we live in that harmony, regardless of our external circumstances, we inhabit the Eden God created for us. When we succumb to the false notion of disharmony, we are living a lie that separates us (sin) from God, the truth and our garden.
In the garden,
Stan
