early morning thoughts

Psalm 146:6b He is the One who keeps every promise forever.

Has God ever given you a verse to hang on to?

Whatever He says, whatever He promised, it's valid & true between you & Him - forever.

     And forever is a long, long time.



8b The Lord lifts the burdens of those bent beneath their loads.

I don't know how He does this, but in talking to Him about stuff, asking Him to help, or guide, or sustain, He just does.

He may not take the burden away - He just gives us enough strength to bear it for a while longer.

It's not done with some big show of force, or angels singing, or lightning flashes.

I find that "lifting burdens" is done very quietly, simply - it's an easy easing of the stress or tension. (easy easing? did I write that? ;-)

Lots of the time, we try to tote our loads on our own. We don't really depend on the Lord to give us strength.



Just some thoughts this morning. Hope they made sense. ;-)
