~ in His Word
September
2019
This morning I
awoke to “…Cast my cares on you, cast my cares on You… “
I prayed to try to
get rid of all my cares but I think sometimes that I am casting like a fly
fisherman! I throw them out there only to reel them back in. Do you ever do
that? The scripture says in the Living Bible translation to let Him have all
your worries and cares… that means I leave them in His care. It does not mean I can reel them in again!
It’s as if the bait got away and it is not lost in the current of the mighty
water of the Holy Spirit. Just because we let it go does not mean we will not
struggle trying to gain the bait again!
The Word in 1 Peter 5 tells us we need to be careful because the enemy
is still out there trying to bait us and get us worrying again. Struggling with
the cares of this world is exactly what our enemy wants us doing because it
keeps our eyes off the Lord! It makes us think we are wrong, that we can’t ever
be good enough or that we are week and useless. But our God tells us something
else! He says give it to Him! Humble ourselves and admit we cannot do it alone
and let Him have it! 
Let him
have all your worries and cares, for he is always thinking about you and
watching everything that concerns you. Be careful—watch
out for attacks from Satan, your great enemy. He prowls around like a hungry,
roaring lion, looking for some victim to tear apart. Stand firm when he attacks.
Trust the Lord; and remember that other Christians all around the world are
going through these sufferings too. After you
have suffered a little while, our God, who is full of kindness through Christ,
will give you his eternal glory. He personally will come and pick you up, and
set you firmly in place, and make you stronger than ever. To him be all power over
all things, forever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 5:7-11
There’s a condition up there, we
have to let Him have our worries and our cares; He won’t just steal them from
us we have to give them up to Him, then trust Him to take care of us and our
cares both! We may have to suffer a bit,
but he will personally come take care of us and put us in a safe place! We just
have to trust Him to do it!
Heavenly Father, take our cares and
help us to leave them with You today and not look back! Remove us from bad
situations and bring us to the place You would have us be. I Jesus’ name, amen.
