Cast your burden to Him

[Cast] all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7)

A poor man in Ireland...was plodding...toward home carrying a huge sack of potatoes. A...wagon...driver stopped to offer him a ride. The man [got in]...but kept holding the bag of potatoes.... When the driver suggested that he lay it down on the wagon floor, he replied warmly..., "I don't like to trouble you too much, sir. You're givin' me a ride already, so I'll just carry the potatoes!"

We do the same when we try to carry life's burdens by worrying instead of turning them over to God. No wonder we become weary, our hearts faint within us, and we lose courage.... The next time you start worrying, let God carry the burden for you.
