Casting all your care upon him; for
he careth for you (1 Peter 5:7). This is remarkable. The Lord Himself is
inviting us to cast all our cares on Him. He says, “Give me all your cares!”
You don’t have to worry over anything in life. Roll all your cares over to Him.
You and God can’t be “caring” about the same things, at the same time. If
you’re going to be fretful and anxious, He can’t intervene, because your
worries will stop His power from flowing your way. Refuse to care! Confess the
Word and say, Continue...
“I refuse to be anxious over anything. However, in everything, by
prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, I make my request known unto God;
therefore, His peace that surpasses all understanding garrisons my heart and
mind in Christ Jesus.”
Perhaps you’re a parent, you have
your son or your daughter away somewhere, and you think he or she might be in
danger. Instead of crying out in fear, “Oh God, I don’t know what’s
happening...”; say, “Father, I thank you because I know that you care! You’re
in charge; therefore, my child is protected.”
Confess that God cares! Be
conscious that He cares. Jesus Christ was so conscious of the Father; He spoke
of Him all the time. I have that consciousness! He says, “I will not leave you
fatherless” (John 14:18), and He sent the Holy Spirit to take care of us,
because He cares. We’re not fatherless. There’s someone who cares for you; He’s
your heavenly Father. He cares about every detail of your life; He cares about
everything that pertains to you. He perfects all that concerns you, and you’re
important to Him; He knows your name.
No matter the situation, get into
your closet, shut the world out, shut the pain out, shut the tribulation out
and lift your hands and say, “I have a Father, the Almighty; He’s King of kings
and Lord of Lords, and He cares for me.” You’re not alone; greater is He that’s
in you than all the troubles in the world.
CONFESSION
I cast all my cares on you, blessed
Lord, because I know you love me and care for me affectionately. I refuse to be
discouraged, irrespective of the challenges that come my way, because I trust
in the efficacy of your Word. Greater is He that’s in me, than he that’s in the
world. Halleluiah!
FURTHER STUDY:
Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate
us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or
famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we
are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor
height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from
the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD thy God in
the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy;
he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
Psalms 55:22 Cast thy burden upon
the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be
moved.
