HE CAN TAKE ALL YOUR WEIGHT
It is easy to say “Trust the Lord to someone who is going through a difficult time. It can be like a cliché. But dear friend, IT IS TRUE.Anything and anyone else you put your trust in can fail you. When you lean on your own resources and your own flesh, they are not strong enough to hold you. 2 Kings 18:21 (NLT) says: “On Egypt? If you lean on Egypt, it will be like a reed that splinters beneath your weight and pierces your hand.”
Conversely, God, who is your Rock, is able to take all your weight. He is strong enough to bear all that you cast upon Him--all your burdens and traumas.
I love the confession of Moses in Psalm 90:1, 2: “LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.”
God is our Rock from one generation to the next. With all my heart I want to encourage you to speak these words out loud today: “FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING, YOU ARE GOD.” Say them consistently. Say them over and over again. Get your children to learn them. The more you speak them out, the more the power of these words will go into the depths of your spirit. They will strengthen your hope and trust in God. They will carry your through your difficulties and heartaches.
Blessings to you today,
Nancy Campbell
