A
reminder for today
The
LORD helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads. (Psalm 145:14)
Awesome words! I must admit that lately I have felt the
Lord at work in more ways than ever before. I have felt how He has made many of
my loads lighter with His amazing love and grace. It is just wonderful to live
among all our challenges with the wonderful knowledge that our Lord is always
there and we have nothing to fear.
No matter who you are or what you are facing, the Lord
helps all the fallen and lifts those bend beneath their loads. This is such an
amazing promise and surely one we can so easily forget.
I have this image of each one of us carrying a huge load
and some are at the point of collapsing. Then the Lord sends help and we are
back on our feet and carrying an even heavier load with no difficulty. I see
how the enemy secretly adds more and more to each one’s load and how the Lord
strengthens each one by making them stronger so that the heavier loads seem
just as light as they were originally.
You see, no matter how heavy your load and how hard your
challenge, the Lord lifts you and strengthens you. There is no need for you to
worry and concern yourself about what lies ahead. Focus in the now and focus on
the Lord. He is the only constant that never changes. He is and will always be.
"That
is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food
and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food, and your body
more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or
store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far
more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single
moment to your life? "And why worry about your clothing? Look at the
lilies of the field and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet
Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And
if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into
the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little
faith? "So don't worry about these things, saying, 'What will we eat? What
will we drink? What will we wear?' These things dominate the thoughts of
unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek
the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you
everything you need. "So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will
bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.” (Matthew 6)
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus
