‭Are You Leaning on Jesus Every Day?

Sunday, March 29

Psalm 68:19 (NIV)

“Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.”

Devotion

In context, this verse comes after verses quoted in reference to Jesus' resurrection and ascension into heaven (v. 18) and before verses saying that God is the God of our salvation and “deliverances” from death (v. 20). How many deliverances from death do we need? The Apostle Paul told the Romans, “For your sake we face death all day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered” (Romans 8:36).

For those who are truly leaning on Jesus, He will bear us up every day. But there can be a temptation for our trust to become a lazy trust rather than an active one. Let us have an active trust through daily action and daily truth. Are we seeking our bread every day, as Jesus instructs in the Lord's Prayer? Are we feeding on God’s Word every day, or have we slipped into the malaise of living by bread alone? Are we taking up our cross each day to follow Jesus? Are we asking for living water every day from the Holy Spirit? Are we praising Jesus every day? Thanking Him?

The relationship Jesus bled and died for us to have with God is a living, active, daily relationship.

Today's Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for bearing my burdens each day. Help me to trust You actively, not passively. Remind me to seek Your Word, Your Spirit, and Your guidance daily. Strengthen me to take up my cross and follow You with a living, vibrant faith. May my life reflect daily praise, gratitude, and dependence on You. In the Name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
