Sustain

Psalm 55:22
Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.

Casting our cares on the LORD, the creator of EVERYTHING, sounds simple and easy. Whatever it is we are fretting over or struggling with, we simply need to turn it over to God. We give him our burdens and he promises to sustain us. He will supply us, support us, maintain us. He will provide what we need. And with that promise, we try to and we mean to turn over our cares to the LORD.

And we wait. Temporarily and momentarily we wait. And then we pick up our burdens all over again forgetting the promise that he will sustain us. He will see us through. He will gives us what we need when he sees the need.

Reliance on God in the present is difficult. We lack faith. In hindsight and reflection it's almost too easy to see God sustaining us. We forget to remember. When we look back we can remember, we can see God's goodness.

No one, not one is righteous. And that's why the son came we are made righteous through Jesus and he will sustain us.
