Psalm 55:22 (NIV), "Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous fall."
The operative word in this wonderful passage is "will"...God "will". This is a promise for provision and protection that is made even more encompassing through the use of the Greek word "oudepote" translated in English as never. Oudepote has eternal significance. God will hold us up eternally, literally for ever!
But does this mean that nothing bad will ever happen to us? It does not. In fact, Jesus told us that in this world we will have trouble. (John 16:33 NIV). However, Jesus also told us that He has overcome the world.
So...bad things will indeed happen to believers and non-belivers alike. However, we will be healed and restored through the blood of the Lamb as His kingdom is realized and becomes manifest among us. This certain knowledge is given that we might find peace in it.
Jesus will sustain and uphold us in the midst of the greatest trouble this broken world can throw at us. (Psalm 55:18) "But I call to God, and the lord saves me." (55:16)
