Carried

“Praise the Lord; praise God our savior! For each day he carries us in his arms. Interlude. Psalms‬ ‭68‬:‭19‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This verse epitomises the truth of the gospel. As we place our faith and trust in the work Jesus did for us, we are carried. No matter what accusations come against us we are carried by God, in His arms.

The Passion Translations says it like this:

“What a glorious God! He gives us salvation over and over, then daily he carries our burdens! Pause in his presence”Psalms‬ ‭68‬:‭19‬ ‭TPT‬‬

I will often wake in the night and be troubled by my behaviour. The condemer knows how to bother me, with my own sins. Last night I decided to apply a remedy Bill Johnson uses, scripture. I recited the 23rd Psalm. Straight away the presence of God filled my room. I went back to sleep in peace and awoke differently, safe in the arms of my God.

I know that in my flesh no good thing dwells, but I have been bought with a price, the blood of Jesus. I have been given a new heart and resolve to serve the Lord. When I am more aware of the Lord and what He says about me, my flesh is dead. I can see that I have been battling a foe that has been defeated by Jesus. I need to rest in Him.

Nepal is steeped in work for many gods. I am living in that environment and need to keep Jesus, His word and His focus my focus. He is my strength and song! Amen!
