| Cast All Your Cares Aug. 19, 2009 |
your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Ever notice that whenever we try to humble ourselves our problems seem to become bigger? For example, on our jobs we may be doing everything that we are suppose to do; however, if we don't walk around boasting about it or doing everything possible to impress the boss (including lying, cheating, and manipulating), we may find that a promotion or two will slip by us. But even if we find ourselves in that situation, God says, "Don't worry about it. Your time will come. Be patient and watch Me work. Do not fret. Just cast all your problems on Me and I will be glad to fix it." Can you believe that! God's hand is so big that He can handle all of your cares. No matter what it is or what the cause, God says to bring it to Him. It doesn't even matter how long the problem has existed, God is able to close His mighty hand around it. Isn't that awesome! But, why would God bother himself with our petty issues? Because He cares for us. He cares about our welfare and well-being. He cares about the things that keep us awake at night. He cares about the bill that is not getting paid. He cares about the car that needs to be fixed and He cares about the many offenses that we have endured. He cares about the child that has gone astray, as much as, the one that we are struggling to conceive. God cares for YOU [period]. There is nothing too minuscule to bring to His attention. He wants us to bring it all to Him. I hope you enjoyed reading the word of God in a new light. Have a Happy Wednesday! God Bless, Elder Tommy and Sister Shatika Gray |
