“The Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.” Psalm 145:14 (NIV)
After reading today's verse, what kind of picture does the verse draw for you? How are you visualizing these whom the Lord promises to uphold? The picture we might see is of a person walking along carry heavy burdens. The loads are so heavy that they are unable to walk erect. They are bowed down under the load that is nearly too much and sometimes they stumble and fall along the way. If that is a good picture, and in the experience of many of us we would affirm that it is, then this is a promise that God knows. He knows each one who is heavy laden and are carrying burdens in life. God is there to strengthen and to lift up. Anyone who is carrying burdens needs to remember that God knows and He is ready and present to help. There are no burdens too heavy for God and he is never too busy to help. Let's turn our concerns over to him and as it says elsewhere, let’s cast those burdens onto our Lord and Savior. Then we can stand up straight and walk trusting Him.
