Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does. The Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time. You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does. The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all you call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. – Psalm 145:13–19

I don’t know about you, but some days I need the reminder that, like a parent who clutches a stumbling child by the arm to prevent them from wiping out, God knows how to uphold me in the moments I fall. He’s not far away. He promises to be right there beside me. He is “trustworthy” in His promises, and he is “faithful” in whatever He does. He “upholds” those who fall and He “lifts up” those who are doubled over. What care and love.

And did you see all the “alls” in the passage? If you missed them, you might even take time to go back and underline each one. They have helped and encouraged my heart today. God’s kingdom endures through not just one or two generations, but all generations. He’s trustworthy in not just some of what He promises, but all he promises. He is faithful in not only the things we can visibly understand or see, but in all He does. He upholds not some of us, but all who fall and all who are bowed down. He’s near to not a special few, but all who call on Him. What a sweet reminder, and what good news this is, for I am certainly one of the “alls” crying out for His steadying hand.

If you feel like you need to be lifted up by someone stronger than yourself, know that He’s got you. Full and completely and in all the ways. Thank You, Lord, for your trustworthiness today, and helps up lean into Your all-encompassing love for us.
