He Is My Support

Psalm 73:25-26 / New International Version - "Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.  My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever"

When considering a home remodeling project, it is important to determine where the support beams are.  If we just knock a wall down here and there to create more space, it could have a detrimental effect on the rest of the structure. In fact, it could even lead to irreplaceable damage.

Whether a building topples because of faulty construction, a bad foundation or extraordinary loads, you can bet the support beams were compromised.

Support beams can be like those people in our lives that we look up to. People we love. People we respect. People we depend on. Sometimes they fall - and we might not realize we were leaning on them until they do. When they go down, it can be hard to recover. They might leave a wake of destruction in their collapse.

The only support beam you can lean on and guarantee it will never shake, bend or crumble under pressure is God.  When the world around you seems to have collapsed, and you find yourself floundering around looking for something firm to take hold of,  grab God's hand.  He is steady and sure and his love is safe.

What support beams have you experienced tumbling down around you? Do you know how much the Lord desires to hold you up while everything else crumbles? Ask him to be your support beam today.  He is more than enough for your every need.
