Good Morning Friends,
“Cast all your anxiety on him because he
cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7)
I’m worried about _____. You can fill in the
blank from your own life. We all have worries. We’re concerned about certain
aspects of our lives. We’re not sure things are going to be O.K.
Do you think your problem is too big for God
to deal with? Jeremiah reminded us, “Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the
heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too
hard for you.” (Jeremiah 32:17)
Do you think your problem is too small for
God to be concerned about? Paul told the Philippians, “Do not be anxious about
anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present
your requests to God.” (Philippians 4:6) Any and every problem can be brought
to God. There’s nothing that we care about that He doesn’t care about!
Do you think the forces of the world are too
strong for God to overcome? John said, “The one who is in you is greater than
the one who is in the world.” (1 John 4:4)
Do you think the cost of helping you with your
problem is too great for God to be willing to pay? “He who did not spare his
own Son, but gave him up for us all -- how will he not also, along with him,
graciously give us all things?” (Romans 8:32) He’s already made the BIG
sacrifice. Don’t you think He’s willing to help you with the little things
you're dealing with now?
The bottom line is that God loves you. He
loves you so much that He gave His Son for you. He loves you so much that He’ll
hold back nothing from you that you need. He loves you more than your parents
love you. He loves you more than your spouse loves you. He loves you more than
anyone on earth could possibly love you, more than you even love yourself! God
loves you.
And because God loves you, you can trust Him
with whatever it is that you are worried about! He’ll help --- because He loves
you.
His, by Grace,
Steve
