 One verse from Psalm 145. If you have time in the next few days, read the entire chapter (21 verses).

The Lord lifts the fallen
and
those bent beneath their loads."


~ Psalm145:14 LAB


*

Bible Commentary:
  "Sometimes our burdens seem more than we can bear and we wonder how we can go on. The psalm writer stands at this bleak intersection of life's road and points toward the Lord, the great burden-bearer. God is able to bear our unbearable burdens because he:

1) is great beyond discovery (vs. 3);
2) does glorious things across many generations (vs. 4);
3) is full of glory, splendor, majesty, and miracles (vs. 5);
4) does awe-inspiring deeds (vs. 6);
5) is righteous (vs. 7);
6) is kind, merciful, patient, and loving (vs. 8);
7) reaches out to us with compassion (vs. 9)'
8) rules over an unending kingdom (vs. 13);
9) is our source of food, water, and help (vs. 15 & 16);
10 ) is fair in all his dealings and full of kindness (vs. 17);
11) remains close to those who call on him (vs. 18);
12) listens to our cries and sends his protection (vs. 19 & 20);

"If we are bending under a burden and feel that we are about to fall, turn to God for help. He is ready to bear our burdens."

Thank You, Jesus!
