He Carries Us

UV 4304/10000 He Carries Us Even to your old age I am He, and even to your advanced old age I will carry you! Be assured I will carry you and I will save you. Isaiah 46 v 4 God not only cares for us but He carries us. He carried us while we were in our mothers’ wombs, implying that He was involved in forming, shaping and protecting us in the womb. He carried us while we were young and vulnerable. He carried us on His shoulders like a shepherd carries a young lamb. He carries us on His wings like an eagle. He carries us through the storms of life. He carries us when we are old and He carries us even in our advanced old age implying nineties and beyond. When we believe, pray over, claim this uni-verse the promise of living into old age and advanced old age becomes operational in our lives. It is not only an assurance of longevity but of protection all our lives and till the very end and beyond. When we die, He carries our souls to His side in heaven. When we are carried by someone, it is the ultimate care we are receiving. The person carries us has the confidence and the strength to carry us. The Lord is the only one capable of carrying us. He is strong enough to carry an entire nation – Israel on His shoulders. We have total protection when the Lord carries us. We, on our part, need only to carry this seed, the promise, this uni-verse in our hearts and minds all the time. The seed will grow and bear fruit in our lives in a variety of ways so that our faith in the Lord is complete. There is a saying that when we carry the Bible when we are young, the Bible will carry us when we are old. Life is larger than law but the Bible is larger than life. In all the diverse challenges of life, this uni-verse can uphold our faith, strengthen us, encourage us. The assurance we derive from such a portion of scripture fills us with hope and joy. The Lord carries us in all stages of our lives as He loves us more than even our own mother or parents. He is the One who sustains us, who supports us, provides for us, protects us and fights for us. We begin our journey in Him, end it in Him and continue into eternity with Him. We are never alone, never isolated, never abandoned for the Lord surrounds us with His love.
