Good Morning Snippy. Gonna read this one with interest tomorrow. Most of my ANZAC knowledge of WWI is about Gallipoli.

Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you. —Psalm 55:22

Give Him Your Burden

Read: Psalm 55:16-23

Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you. —Psalm 55:22

Bible In One Year: 2 Samuel 21-22; Luke 18:24-43

---

A poor man in Ireland was plodding along toward home, carrying a huge bag of potatoes. A horse and wagon finally drew up alongside him on the road, and the driver invited the man to climb aboard. After getting on the wagon, he sat down but continued to hold the heavy bag.

When the driver suggested that the man set the bag down in the wagon, he replied, "I don't want to trouble you too much, sir. You are giving me a ride already, so I'll just carry the potatoes."

"How foolish of him!" we say. Yet sometimes we do the same thing when we attempt to bear the burdens of our lives in our own strength. No wonder we become weary and overwhelmed with anxiety and fear.

In Psalm 55, David spoke of the anxiety he felt because his enemies were attacking him (vv.1-15). But then he gave his concerns to the Lord and was filled with renewed hope and confidence (vv.16-23). That's why he could write, "Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you" (v.22).

When you recall the story of the man and his bag of potatoes, remember the simple lesson it illustrates: Rather than trying to bear your burdens by yourself, set them down in God's hands. —Henry Bosch

Give Him each perplexing problem,
All your needs to Him make known;
Bring to Him your daily burdens—
Never carry them alone! —Adams

God invites us to burden Him with what burdens us.

Good Sunday morning to all in the FOXHOLE!

Supplies, previously brought forward by men or mules over dangerous, exposed ground, now reached Hamel via carrier tanks or were dropped from aircraft. Every soldier had carried water bottles, two days' food and a ground sheet, with riflemen also carrying three empty sandbags and a pick or shovel. Now, under Monash's orders, four carrier tanks -- each with an infantry NCO and four unloaders -- did resupply work that would otherwise have required 1,200 men. The results were astonishing for the time. When the 13th Battalion's colonel reached his dump site, he found 34 coils of barbed wire and pickets, 50 tins of water, 150 mortar rounds, 10,000 small-arms rounds, 20 boxes of grenades and 45 sheets of corrugated iron -- a 41Ž2-ton load -- neatly stacked, with the carrier tank already back in the rear.

Someone was thinking and ahead of his time.

Howdy ma'am. I noticed that Australian PM Howard made a surprise visit to his troops in Iraq today. Good show mate.
