PROMISE #96 - APRIL 6
Promise #96:
I will protect and carry you all the days of your life.
Isaiah 46:4 (WEB)
and even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs will I carry you.
I have made, and I will bear; yes, I will carry, and will deliver.
The New International Version of the Bible translates Isaiah 46:4 as follows: "Even to your old age and gray hairs, I am he; I am he who will sustain you. I have made you, and I will carry you; I will sustain you, and I will rescue you."
I often refer to this passage when I discuss the importance of embracing a childlike heart even in old age. In today's passage, God speaks to Israel, telling them that He made them, will sustain them, and will carry them all the days of their lives—even when they get old!
It doesn't matter if we are two years old or 102; God is still our Father. Fathers look after their kids. No matter what you face in life, the Ancient of Days has promised to carry you, and He will be faithful to rescue you in every situation.
You were never meant to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. God is your burden-bearer, and He wants you to cast every worry upon Him because He truly cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). And He promises to protect and support you all the days of your life!

Responsive Prayer:
Father, thank you for your commitment to carry me all the days of my life, whether I am aware of it or not. I pray that I will believe this at a deeper level today than ever before, so I can cast all of my cares onto your big, strong shoulders and live a carefree life.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
I will protect and carry you all the days of your life.
