It does not matter how tightly knit our families are or how many close
friends we have. When we go through a difficult time or trial, many a time, we
still feel all alone and that no one really cares or understands.
Martha knew that feeling. She had on one occasion cried out to Jesus,
“Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone?” (Luke 10:40)
Jesus’ disciples also knew what it was like to feel small, alone and in
trouble. They cried out, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” when
they were swept up in a terrifying storm. (Mark 4:38)
Today, maybe the cry of your heart is also, “Lord, do You not care that I
am left all alone…that I am going under…that I am perishing?”
My friend, the Lord does care for you. He loves you so much that He wants
you to cast all your cares upon Him—not just some but all your cares. He wants
both your big and small cares. There is nothing too small or big for Him. If it
is a care in your heart, He wants you to cast it upon Him.
When the apostle Peter wrote “casting all your care upon Him”, he was
talking about the continuous act of casting all your cares upon the Lord. As a
care comes, God wants you to cast it to Him. That is the lifestyle He wants you
to adopt. Why? The verse gives us the reason—“for He cares for you”. You are
casting all your cares upon the One who loves you, and who left all of heaven
to come and die for you. That is who you are casting your cares to. It is not
just any person, but it is the One who gave His life for you!
When you are going through a difficult time, God wants you to believe
that you are never alone because He Himself has said that He will never leave
you nor forsake you. (Hebrews 13:5) As the object of His care, He will take
care of you for the rest of your life. You are never alone and always cared
for!
Thought For The Day
You are never alone because God Himself has said
that He will never leave you nor forsake you.
