This is what the Lord says to his people:
“... even
to your old age I am he,
even when
you turn gray I will carry you.
I have
made, and I will bear;
I will
carry and will save.”
~Isaiah 46:4 (NRSV)
Upon every reliance on idols,
those things we’d be bonded to besides God, our hopes fall short. Only God can
save.
We stake our fetishes on the idols
of money, possessions, our sports, and even our plans. It’s common for our
humanity to be dissuaded from things eternal so we can have things that are
temporary.
Through all of this, and our
disasters, God carries us. Despite our unfaithfulness, God is ever faithful.
The Lord is our Eagle,
His
salvation never tarries,
And with
faithfulness so regal,
Our entire load he carries.
