The Lord Sustains

Main Scripture:  Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you Psalms 55:22 (NIV)

Song to Meditate On: James Fortune – He Always Make A Way (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZaUtR2e5g4)

As humans we tend to rely on ourselves for sustenance. We worry daily about our basic needs and wants. We also worry about our safety, our happiness, our peace and so on. However David encourages us in the scripture to cast our cares on God and He will sustain us.

Can you widen your imagination a bit to think of how much we would gain if we followed David’s advice? The word sustains means:

1.   To keep in existence; maintain. – It therefore means that Lord will preserve us; He will cause us to continue. It does not mean that we will not have problems or challenges but if we trust God to take care of them we will live longer. The Bible tells us that God will give us a peace that passes all understanding, if we have peace, we will have less stress, if we have less stress, we will not have all the sicknesses associated with stress. In preserving and maintaining us the Lord will guide us so that we are protected from dangerous situations; He will also heal our bodies and our minds.

2.   To supply with necessities or nourishment; provide for. – The Lord also provides for us. David said that He has never seen the righteous forsaken or His seed begging bread. Have you ever been in a situation where you do not know where the next meal is coming from or how the bills will be paid, then an opportunity presents itself or someone gave you the money. That is God being our provider.

3.   To support from below; keep from falling or sinking; prop – The Lord will also keep us from falling or sinking. He will be our support. If we put our ideas and our plans before God for Him to guide us and lead us, He will guide us in the right direction. This way our businesses will not fail and we will not make the wrong decisions regarding relationships.

Isaiah 46:4 says “Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you. "

Ladies trust the Lord today to sustain you, place all your plans, worries and challenges before him. God knows all things and sees all things therefore there is no one more qualified to advise you on these matter. As David says cast your cares on God, He will sustain you.

Have A God Filled Day Ladies
