Bible Verse of The Day – 6-1-19

Isaiah 46:4 (NKJV) 4 Even to your old age, I am He, And even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you.

We all try to carry the load at one time or another. We say we are not going to rely on anyone else. We need to feel like we can do it ourselves.

Sometimes it’s good we can get certain things done ourselves and not have to rely on any help at all. But, there are some things that God does not want us to carry.

We tend to worry over and over about the same things. Things that we can’t carry. They are way too heavy for us, and if we don’t see it as being too much, we will hurt ourselves trying.

It’s like a weightlifter trying to lift way beyond their capability. They can keep on trying, but they will only hurt themselves in the process. We’ve got to know our limits. And our body has a way of telling us.

God doesn’t want us carrying a heavy load and being in a constant state of worrying. It’s not that we should pretend that nothing is wrong, or that we don’t acknowledge our current situation.

But, whatever it may be at that time, He wants us to take it to Him.

When we share our heaviness with Him, we open up and tell Him what it is that’s causing our stress. We ask for help and we wait on Him for the answer.

Then there is no need to dwell on it. Go about our day and keep walking, expecting God to carry us through. Amen.
