“Give It To Him”

. . . casting all your care upon Him, because He cares about you.—1 Peter 5:7

I’m sure you know like me, becoming a Christian does not make your problems go away, in fact in some cases it sets you up to have more! But what it does do is give you an Advocate to whom you can take every concern. Casting our cares is a choice. It means consciously handing over our anxieties to Christ and allowing Him to carry the weight of our problems.

At times this is the most difficult part of trusting God! Because truth be told we really don't like turning over the responsibility for our problems. We have been taught that self-reliance is good and praiseworthy. Some of us may even enjoy worrying! Yet if we are to be freed from the burden of our concerns, we must choose to cast them into the strong hands of our Father.

In the text Peter does not distinguish between little cares and big cares, all he says is, “Give It To Him”. In like manner God does not differentiate between problems we should handle on our own and God-sized ones. He asks us to turn them ALL over to Him. I believe one of our greatest errors is that we assume we can deal with something ourselves, only to discover that we really can't. But beloved God sees you as His frail child, burdened with a load that surpasses your strength. He stands prepared to take your load and to carry it for you. The question is, Will you let Him?

I don’t know what care you may be carrying today, but the Word for ME that I wanted to share with YOU is, Give It To Him.

Peace and Blessings,

Pastor J.
