He saw that his resting place was good and that his land was pleasant, so he bent his shoulder to the burden and submitted to labor as a servant. — Genesis 49:15
Issachar's prophecy —'he bowed his shoulder to bear' — points us to the ultimate Burden-Bearer. Consider the patience of Job and the prophets — they endured because they saw what was coming. Christ Himself learned obedience through suffering and carried our griefs. But here's the good news: He also says,'Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest'. Cast your burden on the Lord.
