What a precious promise this is for all God's feeble children, who are daily fearing that they shall fall or be crushed under the weight of their troubles and trials!
O believer, what comfort is here! This promise is confirmed to you in Jesus, by His death. Yes, it is yours as much so as if it was spoken to you directly by the mouth of God!
Oh, what a mercy! God says that He will uphold you. He will put strength into you; He will enable you to bear your afflictions and will bring you safely through all your troubles.
Satan may say,"I will trip you up."
God says,"I will uphold you"!
Unbelief may say,"You will one day fall and perish."
God says,"I will uphold you!"
Your flesh may cry out,"I can never bear up under this cross."
God says,"I will uphold you!"
Your feeble heart may say,"How can I endure such privations,such bereavements, such buffetings of Satan,such temptations,such losses,such fiery trials?"
God says,"I will uphold you!"
The Bible testifies that all believers "go from strength to strength, until each appears before God in Zion" Psalm 84:7
In weakness the Lord strengthens them;
In poverty the Lord supplies their needs;
In sickness the Lord sustains them; and
In death the Lord gives them the final victory!
O Father, I am weak but You are strong. Give me of Your strength so that I may serve You and walk with You all the days of my life on this earth.
Psa 37:23-24 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
