Carrying Our Own Burdens
BIBLE MEDITATION:
“Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee.” Psalm 55:22
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
A man was carrying a heavy load of grain down a country road. Another man in a wagon being pulled by a horse saw the man walking and said to him, “Mister, you need a ride?” And so the man got in the wagon. But he kept the load of grain on his shoulder. The wagon driver said, “Man, put that down and relax!” The rider said, “Oh no. It’s enough for you to carry me without having you carry this too.”
Have you ever done that to the Lord? You say, “Lord, I’ll let You save me, but I’ll carry my own burdens.” How foolish we are to do this with the God who hung the stars and planets.
ACTION POINT:
If you can trust God to save you from hell, don’t you think you can cast your burden upon the Lord right now?

When It Comes to the Devil…How to Think
BIBLE MEDITATION:
“Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.” Romans 12:21
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
There are two mistakes people make about the devil. One, they get into demonology—always studying, wondering, and talking about demons. Their focus rests on Satan rather than on the Lord Jesus. The Bible says we’re to resist the devil; it doesn’t say we’re to chase him.
On the other hand, there are those who are flippant about the devil. They have nicknames for him and think he’s a cartoon or fantasy.
The truth is, we have a powerful adversary, the devil. Peter likens him to a roaring lion! A mature Christian recognizes that he has an enemy. He respects the power of the enemy. Then he clings to the power of the Lord Jesus Christ to overcome this great adversary.
ACTION POINT:
Is the lion prowling around your life? Take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and break free from his jaws of destruction.
