Psalm 145:14   The Lord helps the fallen and lifts up those bent beneath their loads.

I would say people are bent beneath the loads of life these days.  Lots of stress, busy lives, tons of commitments, and other everyday things probably make people feel overwhelmed, bent, and maybe even fallen and can’t get up.

I’ve experienced that at times.  We probably all have, but the beauty of Psalm 145:14 is the simple statement that the Lord helps.  God is a helper, He assists, He is there for me.  I am so grateful that when I feel like I can’t get up and I am “bent” God is there to help me to my feet and keep me headed in the right direction.  God is a burden lifter and I can take my burdensome load and place it into His capable hands.

Thank you Jesus for bearing the load of my sin on your shoulders and taking my failures and forgiving me.  Help me Lord to not carry the loads of life by myself but to trust you to carry them for me.
