218 - Bent Beneath Their Loads

2025-07-13

Psalm 145:14 NLTThe LORD helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads.There’s often an excitement at the beginning of something new. We might sell things, pack up and move, take a risk, or step out in faith with fresh energy. But as my pastor recently said, “In the middle of the race, we need endurance.”Spiritual endurance doesn’t come from willpower, but rather it requires a fresh filling. And that’s exactly what I needed (and will keep needing). How about you?

Psalm 145:14 NLT

The LORD helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads.

There’s often an excitement at the beginning of something new. We might sell things, pack up and move, take a risk, or step out in faith with fresh energy. But as my pastor recently said, “In the middle of the race, we need endurance.”

Spiritual endurance doesn’t come from willpower, but rather it requires a fresh filling. And that’s exactly what I needed (and will keep needing). How about you?

Sometimes it helps just to know what to ask for.

In this episode, I’ll be sharing a few things from my church notes and my personal journal. Wherever you find yourself today, I hope these few moments bring encouragement to you along the way.

I’ll end today’s episode with the song “Fall Afresh,” written by Jeremy Riddle.
