Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text

“Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5v7 (NLT)

“Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.” 1 Peter 5v7 (AMP)

Child of God, God is in control. Nothing catches Him by surprise and there is nothing that He cannot handle. So why are you worrying? Interestingly, two cares are used in the verse above. The first care can mean “a cause or object of worry, anxiety, concern, etc.” What do we do with these cares? We are to cast it to God or give it to Him. To cast can mean “to throw or hurl; fling.” And why should we do this, because God cares for us. Thus comes the second meaning of the care in the verse: “to have an inclination, liking, fondness, or affection (usually followed by for).” (www.dictionary.com). Child of God, God cares for you, so give Him Your cares? ALL of them – the little, big, seemingly irrelevant … if it is becoming a care for you, cast it unto the One who cares for you. Trust me, He can handle it. No, you are not disturbing Him. His Word says “Pile your troubles on God’s shoulders – He’ll carry your load, He’ll help you out. He’ll never let good people topple into ruin” (Psalm 55v22, MSG). Are you lacking peace? Is something bothering you? Go and take it to the Lord. Talk to Him about it. “Trust in, lean on, rely on, and have confidence in Him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is a refuge for us (a fortress and a high tower). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!” And God’s Word is for all people – young, old, father, mother, everyone, you don’t need to shoulder that problem by yourself. Talk to the Lord about it! And if you do not know the Lord, go to Him and talk to Him for His Word says “And it shall be that whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord [invoking, adoring, and worshiping the Lord – Christ] shall be saved.” Acts 2v21 (AMP)

  

Prayer

Cast your cares on God – let Him help you!
