(1 Peter 5:6-7 NKJV) 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.
Humility is a very important part of being a child of God. It’s not always an easy thing, but it’s critically important.
There are many benefits to being humble and there are many different aspects of being humble. What we’d like to share today deals with casting our cares upon Him. This isn’t taught very often from this particular point of view, but it needs to be!
So what does casting our cares upon Him have to do with humility? Everything!
If we cast our cares upon Him, we do so because we have humbled ourselves enough to admit that we don’t have the answers. We have reached the end of our plans, our ideas, our schemes and even our intellect.
Now… what does His word say about humility? It says that He gives grace to the humble and He opposes the proud.
(James 4:6 NKJV) But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”
So if we’re proud, we’re already fighting a losing battle because we’re fighting against God.
If you feel like you’re backed into a corner right now and you have no answers, maybe that’s not such a bad place to be, despite how it might feel. Because now that we have exhausted our own ideas, maybe we will let God step in and do what He wants to do with us.
Cast your cares upon Him today.
