“Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.” Psalm 55:22 (NIV)
The picture we see here is one we can truly like. It invites us to cast our cares on the Lord. This means that we sometimes have concerns which become a burden to us but which our God is able and willing to take care of for us. So we are admonished to let the Lord carry our burdens. But that is not all that we are given in this verse. It says that our Lord will sustain us. Now that word sustain really means to hold from underneath. So the Lord not only takes our cares and carries them, He also carries us. Our problems do not have to be something we worry about if we toss them on Jesus. We do not have to worry about ourselves either because He will bring us through. What a rich and encouraging promise to think about today.
