Uphold All that Fall

Psalm 145:14 
The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.”

“The LORD helps the fallen and lifts up those bent beneath their loads.” Sometimes our burdens seem more than we can bear, and we wonder how we can go on. David stands at this bleak intersection of life’s road and David meditates on the Lord, the great burden bearer. A bleak intersection is like a dark time when a person stands at the cross roads and he doesn’t know what to do. Through Psalm 145, David remembers that God is our great burden bearer and how God is able to lift us up. [Notes: The QuickVerse Life Amplification quotes]

Psalm 145:19b “He hears our cries and rescues us.” When you are bended under a burden and felt like you are about to fall, remember, He is ready to lift you up and bear your burden.

Song: My Burdens Rolled Away
1. I remember when my burdens rolled away;
I had carried them for years, night and day;
When I sought the blessed Lord,
And I took Him at His Word,
Then at once all my burdens rolled away.
Chorus:
Rolled away..., rolled away...,
I am happy since my burdens rolled away...;
Rolled away..., rolled away...,
I am happy since... my burdens.. rolled away.
[Minnie A. Steele, Sing His Praise]

Prayer: My dear heavenly Father, I want to thank You for the uplifting devotion. I look back from life experiences; I see that progress and failure are both part of the journey. You remind me of Your grace when You helped me find a solution to any problems. I gain insight from past struggles that help my spiritual growth. You showed me how You have been faithfully working in my life.

Reading the psalms is like a spiritual journal. Some of the psalms show how You God have helped in times of testing like Psalm 40, David writes: I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined (listened closely) to me, and heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps”(v.1-2). Thank You for reminding me of Your faithful deliverance in Jesus’ name, amen! I love You and I worship You.

May the Lord lift you up into His hands!

Dorothy
