Tag: casting your cares on God

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-27-13

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!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-4-13

(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.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-1-12

(1 Peter 5:7 NKJV)  casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

Casting all our care upon Him…what an awesome God to tell us to cast them all.

He doesn’t just want the huge cares, or the average ones, not even just the small ones. He wants us to cast them all, right down to the little bitty cares… the things we don’t think God cares to hear about. Those are the things He wants us to cast on Him, along with the others.

He wants all of our concerns, so we don’t have to worry. He wants to help us fix things so we don’t have to be burdened with them any longer.

I find it so exciting and humbling when God takes care of the simplest things for me. I guess because He is so magnificent, I expect Him to pay attention to the big things that I need, but for some reason I think that He doesn’t care about those little things.

But, He does… He really cares. He cares about all the things that concern us.

Why? Because He loves us and wants to help us through them. He wants us to rejoice with Him as He helps us get to the end of our problems.

Today, let’s do as He asks and cast all our cares. Trust that He will pick them up and work it out.
