Isaiah 46:4 “even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.”

I have looked back in my life recently and seen Gods great mercy and sustaining hand. I am unworthy of these things yet He is so compassionate and merciful to me. During the sin and rebellion, He rescued me and sustained me. During times of putting my trust in myself, He rescued me and sustained me. During times of unknown, He rescued me and sustained me. During times of fear and discouragement He rescued me and sustained me. That is who He is and He will continue to rescue and sustain me for the rest of the time He has me here.

If you are in a time like any of these, look to God, and He will rescue and sustain you. Surrender it to Him and He will rescue and sustain you! Psalms 55:22 : Cast your cares on the Lord and He will Sustain you;…” It is a beautiful thing that our amazing Father in Heaven will continue to sustain us and rescue us even though we are unworthy of either of those. He is full of mercy towards you right now, and if you are in a circumstance in life that is tearing you a part and you seem to be looking every where else, Or if you feel so drained because of life, look to Him and trust in Him. He will reach down and pick you up with his righteous and victorious right hand, rescue you, and sustain you during this time. Isaiah 41:10 “ Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”
