Henry Moorhouse , the 19th century English evangelist, was feeling loaded down with the burdens of his ministry. Then the Lord gave him a tender reminder of His care.
When he came home one day, his young daughter, Minnie, whose legs were paralysed, was sitting in her wheelchair. He was going to take a package to his wife upstairs when his daughter asked if she could carry it. Moorhouse said, "Minnie dear, how can you possibly carry the package ? You cannot even carry yourself."
With a smile on her face, Minnie replied, "I know Papa. But if you will give me the package, I will hold it while you carry me."
Moorhouse saw this as a picture of his relationship with God and the burdens of ministry he was carrying. But, praise God, he could proceed with confidence, knowing that the Lord was carrying him.
Almighty God, who promised to carry Israel (Isaih 46:4) is the One who can carry us. Even though we must fulfil our responsibilities, we have the assurance of His never-failing support.
We need not sink beneath the weight of our burdens.
Ask the Saviour to help you. He will carry your burdens.....and you.
