Burdens can strengthen potential

“Blessed be the Lord, Who bears our burdens and carries us day by day, even the God Who is our salvation! Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!” Whether we realize it or not, the Lord has been carrying us day by day. Our burdens get heavy at times so we need help before we cave in. God knows everyone’s breaking point. We’ve heard how the Lord won’t allow us to go through anything more than we can handle. We may think we can’t handle it, but the Lord has our growth potential in mind. Many times our bodies are screaming I can’t take it, but our spirits are in agreement with God. The spirt is willing, but the flesh is weak. Since God is love, and we are love children of a love God, there’s great potential in us. That potential must be exercised by crisis and daily burdens. There’s no other way to increase our faith in God. When things become too much the Lord will intervene on your behalf. We are always on God’s mind, and He’d like us to have Him on our minds. Staying Christ centered in our daily life is the good fight of faith. It’s a good fight because with God in the mix we always win our battles. Praise be to the Lord, our God our Savior, who daily takes care of that which concerns us (Psalm 138:8). We are the works of His hands, He will not forsake you.
