Cast Your Burdens On JESUS CHRIST by kingsfield(m): 9:51pm On Aug 17, 2015 |
A fisherman gets ready to cast his
net into the sea to catch fish.
He must throw all of the net into
the sea.
The net will settle down beneath
the waters.
Then, the fisherman will wait.
After a few minutes, the fisherman
felt the weight of the net beneath
the waters. This means that he
has a great catch! This is the
opportune moment for him to to
pull up the net to his boat as fast
as he can.
This was the picture which the
Lord was telling to us when He
said in His words -
"Cast your burden upon the Lord,
and He shall sustain you." - Psalm
55: 22
The word, "cast" here literally
pertains to how a fisherman cast
his net into the sea. What God
meant was- when we have
problems, burdens and worries, we
must cast all of these to the Lord.
Casting it all to the Lord means
you depend on Him. Casting it all
means, surrender. You are tired of
them, and the only best way to do
is to "throw" them all to the Lord
in surrender. Casting all your care
upon Him for He cares for you.
If you will not throw the net into
the sea, don't expect a great catch.
Same thing, if you don't throw all
of your burdens to the Lord, don't
expect a great catch of blessings.
God wants you to "let go and let
God." You will not get a "great
catch" if you just keep it to
yourself. Throw it all to God. Cry it
out to God and confess, "Lord,
your will, not mine be done."
Throw the net into the sea and let
it settle down deep beneath the
waters. Yes, cast your burdens to
the Lord and let it settle there. If
you have to wait, then wait for the
answers. But surely since you
throw it all to the Lord, God will
bless your patience and your
surrender.
When you cast it all, you will get a
great catch.
Isn't this a wonderful and radical
truth-
God uses your burdens to get your
blessings.
Your burdens are but the nets on
which God will use to give your
break. Your bad times are but the
thing that will catch the good
times that are coming. If you will
not cast the net, you will not get a
great catch. But if you cast it all,
o, expect a great catch. Use your
burden to catch your blessings.
Go out there and throw the net
into the sea.
Let it settle down beneath the
waters.
Wait. Patiently wait.
And you feel that the net gets
heavier and heavier.
It is not a sign of a problem but of
a blessing.
The more it gets heavier, the more
it means the blessing is bigger.
Pull it up as fast as you can, and
enjoy your blessings from God.
But if you didn't throw the net, you
will not have a big catch. |

jamess32:All that casting means nothing if one does not live in continuous submission and obedience of the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, God's Truth, and Law in the Kingdom of God. And please, do not for one second confuse the doctrines and traditions of your pastors and mogs — lies which Jesus Christ warned His followers to steer clear of — with the Truth of God. |
