Everyone has burdens, such as money problems, relationships, work issues, sadness, grief. The problems of life sometimes seem insurmountable. Over and over in the Bible, we are assured that God wants to carry our burdens, but here we are admonished to "bear one another's burdens." Just as God takes our cares upon Himself, we are to take the cares of our brothers and sisters upon ourselves. We are to pray with them, cry with them, give them counsel. Whatever it takes to lessen the load for them, we are to do. It is just a part of being in the family of God. We take care of each other.

Here Jesus compares the healing of physical maladies with the forgiving of sins. And all of his miracles of physical healing were meant to be pictures of spiritual healing. But only those who acknowledge their unrighteousness and need of repentance will be able to partake of that miraculous healing of the fallen soul.

Our human vocabularies are vast. Most adults know 20,000-35,000 words in their native language. Avid readers probably know substantially more. That's a lot of words! But even with those vast vocabularies, there are moments when words elude us. Sometimes this happens when we pray. Sometimes our need is so great that we cannot find the words to express it in our own language. That is when the Holy Spirit steps in and intercedes for us. He searches our hearts and our minds and sees what we need. He translates that need directly to God, in a language that only God understands. In a sense, the Holy Spirit becomes a "code talker." His transmission by-passes our human brain and his code--the "wordless groans"--is unintelligible to the Adversary. In this way, the Holy Spirit helps us when we don't know how to help ourselves.

There is a sense in which we can "convert" others to the Lord. There is also a sense in which men must "turn (convert) themselves. " And there is a yet different, third, sense in which only God can convert men. These are not contradictory ideas when seen in the light of other Scriptures, but it is important not to confuse the preacher's role in presenting the truth, the sinner's role in responding to it, and God's providential and gracious overruling of the whole conversion event.

A good husband is a jewel. A woman is blessed if her husband not only loves her and provides for her, but also treats her well and protects her. A good husband treasures his wife. He makes sure that her needs are met. He is her friend and her confidante. He makes her feel safe and he makes her feel confident. Through his eyes, she sees her own beauty and worth. This passage compares God to a husband. He cares for his Bride in the same way that an early husband cares for his wife. We can take comfort in the fact that we are safe in the arms of our husband who is our Maker and Redeemer. We have nothing to fear. We are loved and cherished by a kind and loving God.

Man is a fickle creature. It is not unusual for him to flit from plan to plan. Never really having a destination and changing with the wind. We see it even with people who root for professional football. One year they will start out as huge fans of a particular team. By mid season, when that team is no longer winning, they will begin to root for another team which has more wins. We change our minds on a whim. When we make plans in our own hearts, they are very changeable. When one dream gets too hard for us, we chase after another. When that one dead ends, we are off to yet a third endeavor. So it is with man's plans. God's plans are different. When God has a plan for us, it is steady. He knows the beginning and ending, as well as every bump on the road in between. So many people have left the path ordained for them by God only to wander from dream to dream and then to finally end up the path God had intended for them from the beginning. How much time would save if we just did it God's way from the beginning? How much pain would we spare ourselves if we didn't give in to our fickle nature? God's plan will always be the best plan.

In verse 13, Paul tells the Thessalonians not to sorrow over those who have died in Christ like others who have no hope. Here in verse 14 he tells us of that hope. Those who know the Lord continue to live with him after the death of their mortal bodies, and they will return with Jesus on the day of the Rapture (verses 15 and following).

Whenever we come to God with a request, we should remember what David here remembers, that it is only a matter of mercy that God would hear his prayer. David was a great man of God, a "man after God's own heart, " but even he did not presume to make demands on God but instead cried out for mercy.

Paul refused to rely on a righteousness of his own. He trusted instead in the "righteousness of God, " meaning "the righteousness that comes from God. " That is an imputed righteousness, one that is credited to us although we did not perform it. By faith in Jesus we receive that righteousness. It covers us like a garment, pure and white.

This is yet another Proverb which presents opposing perspectives. The first perspective is to be humble and keep company with the poor. The second option is to take part in the rewards of the proud. We are told that the first is the better perspective. The question is why? The previous verse speaks of the downfall of pride. Pride brings conflict and strife. If we share in the "spoils" of the prideful, we share in that conflict and strife. We can avoid the trouble that comes with pridefulness if we remain humble. If the wisest man in the world, Solomon says this is the better option, then we would be wise to listen.

All who live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. All who put Christ first in their heart and life will lose something for so doing. Paul was willing to suffer the loss of everything else for the sake of knowing Jesus Christ better. This was more than to simply know about Christ; it was to be in close communion with Him and to learn by experience what it means to follow Him in a world hostile to God.

What the Bible says:
God made me and God don't make no junk! This slogan found its way to t-shirts several years ago. It may not be grammatically correct, but it's true, nonetheless. Paul tells us in this verse that we are God's "workmanship". We are made by His hands. We are not "accidents." We are works of art, crafted by His loving hands. Therefore, we have value. Nothing can take that away from us. Ugly words, insults, snide remarks...they are meaningless in the face of the fact that we are His workmanship. If we could only truly believe that about ourselves, there wouldn't be a bully anywhere with any kind of power over us.
