Day 89

Psalm 55:22 ~“Turn your burdens over to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will never let the righteous person stumble.” (GWT)

When I first read about the Israelites in Exodus years ago, I thought they were so stupid! They lived in a time where God’s presence, His works, and His miracles were physically seen. There were delivered from slavery, had their food delivered to them everyday, and were literally able to follow a ball of fire to their destinations at night. And yet, they still didn’t fully believe God! All that they had seen and experienced was forgotten as soon as adversity came. It was as if God had never done any of those things…even though they had just seen it! How dumb is that?! The funny thing is we are very much like them. When we’re with God and things are well, we trust Him and it’s all good. But the minute something happens we’re frantic, acting like He can’t bring us out…even though He just did it last week! I would like to remind you today that if you cast your cares upon the Lord, He WILL take care of you. We can’t be so quick to forget how good God is (and has been); He has NEVER let the righteous stumble. You won’t fail, you won’t lose, and you certainly won’t die. Take a look back over your life, after having gone through hell and high water you’re still here. The last storm you were in didn't kill you, neither will this one. No matter what it looks like, no matter what’s going on, He WON'T let you fall!
