Promise of Assurance

"Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the rightious to be moved"(Psalm 55:22). The context of the plasm shows that there is no unqualified promise that the rightious will always be happy and prosperous. The psalmist sings this lament to the Lord because he is in despair. The verse must mean that God will not leave the rightious in the fallen position forever, but will vindicate them in the end. " I am the Lord, your God, Who takes hold your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you"(Isaiah 41:13).
