Letting God Carry Us

Deuteronomy 1:31 (NKJV) 31 and in the wilderness where you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place.’

What stood out to me and spoke to my heart as I read this today were the words, “the Lord your God carried you, as a man carries his son.”

I’m going to share with you a personal experience that I had with God during a time when He carried me.

I was overwhelmed from news I had just gotten. And I was very tired at the time from helping others get through the very same thing.

I was dealing with SHOCK, let-down or a hard hit; whatever you want to call it!

I didn’t take a moment to care about myself and what I felt.

It was as if I was numb, but I had to move forward because of the cries I heard beside me.

Others that were hurting and confused, so I stepped right in and started caring for them. I felt their need for help was much greater than mine.

How many know what I’m talking about? You just do it. You put yourself aside for the greater need and you just move.

All I can say is, God! He knew.

It’s in those times you feel and see the reality of Him and His “Daddy arms”.

I had all I could do just to breathe at times.

But, it’s in those moments that you either plop into His arms and let Him carry you, or you die trying to make it on your own strength.

I was not helping others on my own. The strength to push on and go beyond what I felt was His! I just had to trust Him. That’s it.

In my moment of numbness, confusion, and just plain feeling overwhelmed, I chose to plop myself right in His arms and trust Him completely.

He carried me through as I helped others. And we all came through together, miraculously! Amen.

Daddy’s arms are open wide. Plop and let Him carry you today.

Psalm 16:1 (NKJV) 16 Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.

Isaiah 46:4 (NKJV) 4 Even to your old age, I am He, And even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you.

We all try to carry the load at one time or another. We say we are not going to rely on anyone else. We need to feel like we can do it ourselves.

Sometimes it’s good we can get certain things done ourselves and not have to rely on any help at all. But, there are some things that God does not want us to carry.

We tend to worry over and over about the same things. Things that we can’t carry. They are way too heavy for us, and if we don’t see it as being too much, we will hurt ourselves trying.

It’s like a weightlifter trying to lift way beyond their capability. They can keep on trying, but they will only hurt themselves in the process. We’ve got to know our limits. And our body has a way of telling us.

God doesn’t want us carrying a heavy load and being in a constant state of worrying. It’s not that we should pretend that nothing is wrong, or that we don’t acknowledge our current situation.

But, whatever it may be at that time, He wants us to take it to Him.

When we share our heaviness with Him, we open up and tell Him what it is that’s causing our stress. We ask for help and we wait on Him for the answer.

Then there is no need to dwell on it. Go about our day and keep walking, expecting God to carry us through. Amen.
