“Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears
our burdens. Our God is a God who saves;
from the Sovereign Lord comes escape from death.” Psalm 68:19-20
Within this Davidic Psalm lies two very important
truths. The first is that the Lord is
our burden bearer. We carry our burdens
around like a knapsack on our back as if we were required to do so; however,
God has declared that He bears our burdens each day. Give them over to Him and carry them no
further. The second truth is that we
shall escape death because we serve a God who saves. Christ death on a bloody, savage cross
purchased eternal life for those who would believe and receive it. Therefore, those who have been forgiven of
their sin have been born twice but shall only die once.
There is bad news for those who turn their backs on such a
precious gift. They have been born once,
but shall die twice; once in the natural and a second time in the spiritual,
lost for all eternity, separated from God.
Just because they don’t believe that to be true doesn’t negate it as a
future reality.
Those who have a personal relationship with the creator of
the universe shall live forever with Him some day. Our burdens shall be gone, never to
return. That is just one simple reason
why the gospel is called “Good News”.
Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
