Day Six - Psalm 145

:14b "...and (He) lifts those bent beneath their loads."

God lifts it before it breaks... the load is "bent" and it makes no mention of God picking it up after the load has broken us completely. God seems to have the right timing and knows our limits. He truly knows "bend but not break". I'm not saying something can't break us; however, in this case, God spares us from having our loads break on top of us. He is here to help (a simple concept that can feel more complex than it actually is.)

[Interesting side note: this Psalm is an acrostic and it begins with the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet and then follows sequentially with the second letter and continues on through the end.]
