Sustained

Verse of the Month

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will

give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me,

for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 

 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

(Matthew 11:28-30 NKJV)

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)
