Scripture
Reading: Matthew 11:28; Psalm
55:22
Sustained
There's a song we sing
in church by Don Moen, that ministers to my spirit when I feel that life is
dishing out more than I can handle. It's based on the scriptures
reflecting what the psalmist did in times of adversity.
In Psalm 55:22 the
psalmist tells us what we can expect when we turn to the Lord in times of
distress, sadness, sorrow or fear in the midst of trials. The Bible tells us that there is something to
be received by trusting God with your concerns. In exchange for worries
(casting our burdens on the LORD), God says that He will sustain us.
“Cast your burden upon the LORD, and He will sustain you:
He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.”
(Psalm 55:22 NKJV)
What does sustain mean in this passage? Simply phrased, the Lord will support us physically and mentally. His Spirit
will encourage, help, assist, cheer-up, comfort and give strength to our
spirit.
If we trust Him with
our cares and burdens, God will be the source and tower of strength we need to
endure. He will not let us slip or fall in the time of crisis.
Let Christ be your
source of sustaining energy. He is greater than your burdens. His yoke is easy and His burdens are light. Remain
in faith knowing that you can depend and rest in His promise(s). (cw)
