He willΒ sustainΒ you!

(J.R. Miller)

“Cast your burden upon the Lord–andΒ He willΒ sustainΒ you.” Psalm 55:22

The promise is not that the Lord willΒ removeΒ the load we cast upon Him, nor that He willΒ carryΒ it for us–but that He willΒ sustainΒ us so thatΒ weΒ may carry it.
He does notΒ freeΒ us from the duty–but HeΒ strengthensΒ us for it.
He does notΒ deliverΒ us from the conflict–but He enables us toΒ overcome.Β 
He does not withhold or withdraw the trial from us–but He helps us in trial to be submissive and victorious, and makes it a blessing to us.Β 
He does not mitigate the hardness or severity of our circumstances, taking away the difficult elements, removing the thorns, making lifeΒ easyΒ for us–but He puts Divine grace into our hearts, so that we can live sweetly in all the hard, adverse circumstances.

“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9Β 

“I can do all things through Christ whoΒ strengthensΒ me!” Philippians 4:13Β
