Encouragement of Life
Scripture: Psalm 55:22---Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.
Life with all its weights and anchors can have the power to hold in captivity the expressions of what God has placed in your life but through the power of His Word His plans break the grip the enemy has placed over your life, your present and the future calling He has for you.
When we look closely at the word sustain found in this scripture it has such a influence over the past, present and even the future. Looking deeply into its meaning it builds character and a likeness of Christ. The meaning of sustain which is to strengthen or support physically or mentally, it is to undergo or suffer something unpleasant, to cause or allow something to continue for a period of time: to keep alive: to suffer or experience.
The characteristic of this can be found in James 1:2-4 (nlv) Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. In this we witness the power of faith and the testimony of life when the churning of chaos and the spoils of life seem to cause us to lose our balance but the Word of God is our sustainer through the darkness it pierces like the light of truth.
Holding fast to His promises He will never forsake or leave us alone for He is the sustainer of life itself and those who continue to believe and trust will never completely faith but rise as eagles sustained by His ever present help day after day. Scripture: Luke 21:19---Stand firm, and you will win.
