WHAT TO DO WITH CARES, PROBLEMS, ISSUES?
In the Epistle of 1 Peter 5:6-7 (NKJV) the word of God
commands us in this manner: “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand
of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for
He cares for you.” The first thing God said in His word is HUMBLE YOURSELVES.
GOD COMMANDS US TO HUMBLE OURSELVES; therefore, HUMILITY must be very important
to Him. A careful examination of the second half of 1 Peter 5:5, shows that
God’s word confirms HIS DISLIKE FOR PRIDE, “God resists the proud, but gives
grace to the humble.” Oh LORD, help us to WALK IN HUMILITY so that we can be
pleasing in Your sight and experience Your grace--favor. Next, God’s word also
said we can cast all our care on Him. We don’t have to handle our cares,
problems, issues or whatever we want to call them. God said we can give Him
what ails us. Why??? Because He cares about us. What a tremendous blessing
God’s word is to us, if we choose to obey it. Thank You, LORD GOD! We can be
stress free. Hallelujah!!! LORD, thank You for Your powerful word—our GUIDING
LIGHT.
