Weight of the World on Your Shoulders


What does the Lord say about us carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders?
Is it just in our genetic makeup to think that we are in control?
Are we so deceived by sin that we fool ourselves into this belief of any control in
anything?
God did indeed give us the ability to make decisions but does that mean we are in
control?
We have been given free will and are responsible for all that goes along with it, good and
bad!!
What about faith in God?
Isn’t He sovereign over all things?
Does not God work all things together for His purpose?
As Creator of the universe and everything in it, He alone is in charge of His creation.
I wonder if we humans are capable of trusting the One who rightly owns all control?
Foolish creatures that we are, do we really think we have any control?


Proverbs 19:21 Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the
Lord that will stand.

Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for
good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD , plans for welfare
and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be
frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

Isaiah 45:6-7 that people may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that
there is none besides me; I am the LORD , and there is no other. I form light and create
darkness; I make well-being and create calamity; I am the LORD , who does all these
things.

Proverbs 16:9 The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps.

Job 12:10 In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.

Psalm 115:3 Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases.

Daniel 4:35 all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, and he does
according to his will among the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth;
and none can stay his hand or say to him, “What have you done?”

Psalm 103:19 The LORD has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules
over all.
