 'Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved' (Psalm 55:22).

All whose trust is in the Lord, know they can cast their cares upon him. They know when they give their burdens to Him, he will take care of them, and not cause them to slip and fall. God loves us more than we can ever think or imagine. His love is immeasurable and eternal! Whatever situation we find ourselves in, we must trust Him, that he is able to take care of us. 1 Peter 5:7 says we are to cast all our anxieties on Him, because he cares for us.
When we rely on the Lord for everything, he shall sustain us. In your fear and anxiety, look to Him and be confident that you can lean on His everlasting arm and be safe. Jesus bids us come to him, all who are weary and burdened and he will give us rest. He invites us to take His yoke upon us and learn from him, because he is gentle and humble in heart and we will find rest for our weary souls. For His yoke is easy, and his burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30).
Today, cast all those burdens that weigh down your hearts and lives: it may be illness, worry, grief, loss of job or an important friendship or the end of a marriage, financial hardship, a trauma you have experienced; things that are out of your control. Jesus said you are to hand them over to him and he will take care of them and sustain you and will not suffer you to be moved. Note the Word of God said, "He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." Therefore, we must have a relationship with the Lord, be living a godly life, looking only to him, and he will not suffer us to be moved. David was going through a difficult time in his life, with worries, anxieties and fear, but he had to stop for a moment and look to the Lord. He knew the Lord would sustain him through those difficulties and would not allow him to be shaken. We too can have that experience, when we with confidence, look to the Lord and cast all our burdens upon Him. There are many calamities happening in this world that overwhelm us and cause us to fear, but the Word of God reminds us not to fear, for the Lord our God is with us. We are encouraged to cast our cares upon Him, and he will sustain us.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'In your patience possess ye your souls' (Luke 21:19). In the last days we will suffer afflictions, persecutions and be reproach of men. We will be betrayed even by our own families and friends, as they hand us over to our persecutors to save themselves.  God is saying to us, that we should be patient as we bear these burdens and afflictions, by possessing peace and joy in our souls which no one  cannot take away. Our hope and life is in Christ Jesus, and when we hold steadfast unto him, allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and work through us; we will let nothing disturb our peace  or distress our soul. In isolation, it may seem daunting and a difficult task to be joyful and enjoy ourselves in such dire circumstances. However, when Christ is in us the Holy Spirit will empower us and give us the endurance and perseverance to enjoy our souls. The Word of God said, "...we shall be hated of all men for my name's sake; but he that endureth to the end shall be saved&quo
