1 Peter 5:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
God wants us to cast all our cares on Him.
This means that we are to take those things that concern us or make us worry and give them over to Him.. let Him have control.
So how do we do this? By doing what the first part of that scripture tells us: By humbling ourselves under His mighty hand.
Humbling ourselves isn’t always easy. In fact, it’s rarely easy, but it is a necessity if we want to learn to let God have control of those things that bother us.
If we try to hold onto our pride, we will want to try to figure everything out and fix everything ourselves.
Whereas, if we drop our pride and let God clothe us in humility, we will have no problems handing those difficult things over to God and not worrying about whether we were the one to come up with the solution or not.
Go ahead. Cast your cares. We dare you!
