Does God double our burdens?

6:00 the Clock reads. Time to warm to the comming production of the day. Time in the Word prayer meditation on the days events. What a wonderful way to start a day. I would even say that it is a blessed way to start the day. But bless in what way. Will I have less troubles throughout the day because I spend time reading the Bible? I at least hear that as a common explaination of why morning diciplines are beneficial. But at 8:00 as i approached the second task of the day I hit a speed bump. My car failed inspection. I only need to drive it for a few more months and they wanted me to dump close to 800 dollars into it. I don't know about you but when I quit my job the same week i find a bunch of fiscal surprises waiting for me there must be a reason. I normally in my heart turn first to my pride either i can do this or poor me i can not do this. It is at this moment that God's promises become available to me I read ps. 96 and Isaiah 48 like i never have before. And the conclusion is God often doubles burdens so that He can bear them and get the glory. It is paiful but He is so faithful! Praise Him for His many mercies.
