Episode 14: Sustained

Sustained

There are days were the flames seem to surpass the neck and the pressure is like that of the crushing earth. King David, the appointed king of Israel had many days like this. From, being on the run from a King that he was loyal to, to his very own son trying to dethrone him. David experienced many afflictions during these times. Though his heart was in anguish and he did not fully understand what was going on; he never turned from the Lord; rather, he leaned into the Lord. Through it all, God sustained David and kept him safe throughout the calamity. In the same way! You who call out to the Lord, will he hear and sustain you through it all, because he is the God of promise. Psalms 89:21-23 “My hand will sustain him; surely my arm will strengthen him. The enemy will not get the better of him; the wicked will not oppress him. I will crush his foes before him and strike down his adversaries”
