The Weight God Will Carry

Written By Ricardo McGee

Psalm 55:22

This passage is included in David's lament in Psalm 55, which is characterized by betrayal and internal conflict. The context illustrates his lament under the burden of betrayal, presumably from an intimate associate. Amidst the turmoil, David instructs you relinquish your burdens to the Lord. The Hebrew verb for "cast" denotes a purposeful act of release—projecting or throwing something away. The "burden" referenced is not a broad concern but rather a personal anguish—an overpowering, oppressive weight.

God does not guarantee the elimination of all adversity. Rather, He provides sustenance. The term "sustain" (Hebrew kul) signifies to nurture, support, or uphold. The certainty is not solely emotional; it is theological. God supports those who place their burdens upon Him. The virtuous are not guaranteed protection from assault, but they are assured resilience. “He shall never allow the righteous to be disturbed”—neither shaken, nor overthrown, nor put down.

This devotion needs a volitional act: a determination to entrust God with our burdens. The verse lacks emotional appeal. It necessitates action. Execute it. Do not assume the burdens He has given to shoulder. The promise is not abstract; it is personal—He will sustain you.

1. Burden Defined: The burden is a tangible and oppressive weight of distress, sorrow, treachery, or apprehension.

2. Action Required: The verse mandates casting. It presupposes intentionality and relinquishment.

3. Divine Function: He sustains—He provides assistance in times of adversity. He does not only alleviate the burden; He fortifies us in its presence.

4. virtuous Stability: The virtuous are assured not of evasion but of heavenly stability and security.

5. Personal Application: Are you bearing what God has instructed you to relinquish? Obedience entails ceding authority.
