\u201c<\/span>the LORD upholds the righteous.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Psalms 119:116<\/b>\u00a0<\/a><\/span>\u00a0Uphold me according to your promise, that I may live, and let me not be put to shame in my hope!<\/p>\n

Isaiah 41:10<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.<\/p>\n

Psalms 37:24<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD upholds his hand.<\/p>\n

Psalms 63:8<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.<\/p>\n

Psalms 27:1<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b> The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?<\/p>\n

Isaiah 12:2<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0\u201cBehold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the LORD GOD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Psalms 46:1-2<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b> God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.\u00a0\u00a0Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,<\/p>\n

Joshua 1:9<\/b><\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Romans 8:31<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?<\/p>\n

Deuteronomy 20:1<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u201cWhen you go out to war against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and an army larger than your own, you shall not be afraid of them, for the LORD your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.<\/p>\n

Deuteronomy 31:6-8<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Romans 10:11<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0For the Scripture says, \u201cEveryone who believes in him will not be put to shame.\u201d<\/p>\n

Romans 9:32<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works.<\/p>\n

This support (Uphold me<\/em>) would come according to God\u2019s word. It would be both consistent<\/i> with God\u2019s word, and find its source<\/i> in God\u2019s word. It is by the strength that comes from God, and\u00a0we find this true through His word. We find our hope.\u00a0 <\/span>Apart from God how is it possible to face even a single day of trial and trouble without being consumed with worry, doubt, anger, frustration, and fear?<\/p>\n

Each word, promise, warning, truth, and works of God, given in scripture, increases our hope, trust, and faith.\u00a0 <\/span>But there seems to be a natural desire to only seek His word and promises when times are troubling. When things are out of control.\u00a0 <\/span>When we have perceived to have been wronged. When we realize it is out of our hands and we have no where else to turn.\u00a0 <\/span>This is not the way to view, serve, or honor God.\u00a0 <\/span>His word is not some form of prescription that is opened for some time of need and left idle in our heart, mind, and soul for the rest of the time.<\/p>\n

His word is useful for training, growth, warning, faith, hope, praise, worship, comfort, knowledge, understanding, wisdom, light, courage, power, strength, and love.\u00a0 <\/span>His word is not a magic potion but rather door way to know Him and through it continually learn more and more of His steadfast love, His awesome power, our sin and sinful desires and His plan of salvation, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit, eternity, heaven, death and what is in store for those who are complacent and neglect or flat out reject Him and His plan of salvation.<\/p>\n

Commit to humbly serve, honor, glorify, worship, trust, follow and obey Him with all your heart, mind and soul.\u00a0 Stay in His word each day and let it guide and light the path for each moment of that day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
