God’s love, which is stronger than death, is causing me to continue walking the path of the mission the Lord has given me (John 6:1–15). “At that very time some Pharisees came and said to Him, ‘Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill You.’ He replied, ‘Go tell that fox, “I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.” In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem! Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see Me again until you say, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord” (Luke 13:31–35). ...
‘You will not bear the
burden alone.’
God heard the contents
of Moses' troubled heart and responded.
The core of God's
response was "You will not bear the burden alone."
In other words, God
helped Moses
by appointing seventy
respected leaders among the Israelites
to share the
responsibility with him
(Numbers 11:16-17).
Reflecting on this, it's
comforting to know that when we feel burdened by heavy loads,
God provides people who
can share the burden with us.
Moreover, before we
become overwhelmed,
before our
responsibilities feel too heavy,
it's wise to seek the
help of others who can work alongside us,
sharing the
responsibility.
Persisting in working
alone, thinking it's easier and more effective,
until the burden becomes
unbearably heavy is not wise.
