“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”
1 Peter 5:6-7 NIV
When we find ourselves under the gun, buried by the circumstances of life, we often like to retreat into our own little world. There, we believe we will find the comfort and peace we so deeply need in our lives. Instead of retreating, instead of isolating ourselves, we should cast our fears and our issues on the Lord. Why, because his promise to us is that he cares for us, cares deeply and completely.
The One who has the power and the will to lift us out of our misery, our pain is the Lord God Almighty! His promises and his word to us are true and everlasting. We can trust in him, depend on him, believe in him. We truly serve a God that not only cares for us but in ALL things can change our lives and our circumstances. Knowing these truths should move us to a deeper and greater love for our Lord.
When all you have left is God, you have gained everything you will ever need!
He cares for you!
In Christ
