The
Lord Lifts Up
Those
Who Are Weighed Down.
The
Lord Loves The Godly.
Scripture
Psalm
146
5 But
joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their
helper,
whose hope is in the Lord their God.
whose hope is in the Lord their God.
8 The Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down.
The Lord loves the godly.
Observation
“Weighed
Down”, I think that is a pretty good description of the way I feel
this morning. How about you? I am so glad that I have a personal
relationship with God who made heaven and earth, the sea, and
everything in them.
Yes,
I am so glad that my God keeps every one of His promises forever!
Yes, I am so glad that He is my God! I don't know how people will
make it through this crisis who do not have a personal relationship
with Creator God.
We
need to focus on and hold tightly to every single promise that God
has given to us in His Word. He has given us thousands of promises
for us to hold on to during times like these. And He will keep every
single one of them!
What
promise or promises from God are you holding on to that is helping
you get through this crisis? If you have already read your Bible
today what promise if any did you discover?
Please
feel free to share your favorite promise in the comment section. It
might encourage someone else!
Application
The
Lord will lift me up. He loves me! Verse 8
(Godly
people are not perfect … they are just people who have made the
decision to put God first in his or her life.)
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, Habakkuk's prayer is my prayer this morning,
“Even
though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the
vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and
barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle
barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be
joyful in the God of my salvation! The Sovereign Lord is my
strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the
heights.” (Habakkuk 3:17)
Lord,
Your promise that I will hold on to this morning is found in Psalm
46:1-3, “God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in
times of trouble. So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the
mountains crumble into the sea. Let
the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters
surge!
Thank
You for giving me thousands of promises for times like these. You are
an awesome God! Your faithful love endures forever! Amen.
