Do you remember a day, long ago, when you looked up in your daddy’s eyes and begged, “Daddy, will you carry me?”
I do! And I remember the first day he said, “I can’t carry you any more, you’re too big.”
Well, there’s a Heavenly Father who can carry you and me forever. And we, in turn, can “Carry” out His Commands.
In Isaiah 63:9, Isaiah praises and prays, ” In all their distress, He too was distressed, and the angel of His presence saved them; He lifted them up and CARRIED them all the days of old.”
Isn’t that beautiful!?!?! He carries us!
When He carries us, we should do as it says in verse 7, “I will tell of the kindness of the Lord, the deeds for which He is to be praised, according to all the Lord has done for us-Yes! The many Good things He has done..”
We may feel tossed about by the waves of the world’s uncertainty, but God is carrying His people. He says so. He promises to. He was, is, and will be because He is who He says He is.
So, if we Love Jesus, in turn, we must be faithful to carry out His Commands. I John 5:1-5 says, “Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves His Father, loves His Child as well. This is how we know that we love the Children of God: by loving God and CARRYING out His commands. This is Love for God: to CARRY out His commands. And this is not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only He who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.”
So, whether we are in distress or just need to feel His protection, Cry out to God and ask Him to Carry You.
“Daddy, carry me!”
And, in Praise, We shall carry out His commands.
We Love, Because He first loved us. We carry out His commands because He carries us.
So Carrie On! Remember! Jesus Loves you!
Stay High! Colossians 3
