As you step out today, here’s a reminder from God’s word to you from 1 Peter 5:7 [GWT]
“Turn all your anxiety (anxieties) over to God because He cares for you.”
The [NLT] translation says
“Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.”
Hallelujah! What joy and peace today’s key verse brings to our soul knowing that we have a Heavenly Father that really cares for us as His children. God cares so much for us that He reminds us through His word, what we need to do, each time worry and anxiety come knocking on our door!
Today’s key verse along with many other scriptures in the Bible reminds us again and again of the loving and caring nature of our Heavenly Father, who is so concerned about every little detail of our lives!
Philippians 4:6 is also another scripture that echoes God’s mind to us when it comes to our state of mind. Worry according to the online definition means “ to feel or cause to feel anxious or troubled about actual or potential problems. Furthermore, It also refers to the thoughts, images, and emotions of a negative nature in a repetitive, uncontrollable manner.”
Worry impacts on our state of mind. It can lead to depression and all sorts of mental instability which unfortunately is affecting many people in our society including believers. Worry aims at deflating our Faith in God’s word, and when we allow it linger for long, it will eventually steal our peace and joy.
This is why we need to pay attention to today’s key verse which reminds us to turn and give all our anxieties and worries to God because He really cares about us and our wellbeing. The truth is no matter how much we worry about a particularly desperate situation; we really cannot change anything in our power.
Which is why Jesus ask this question in Luke 12:25-26 [NIV] “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?”
God wants to do the worry for us, that is why He encourages us to cast our cares on Him, Psalm 55:22. God wants to ease us of our burdens (Matthew 11:30) and admonishes us through His word to trust him to do just that for us!
God is reminding you and me again this morning, saying to us “Do not worry about anything.” God’s will is for us not to worry (even though we might struggle and feel it won’t be right or even irresponsible for us not to worry about the situation we are going through).
But God’s will is for us to believe Him to take care of us so that we can have peace and joy in our heart.
Therefore, as you go about your daily business/activities today, remember your part in the fulfillment of this scripture, is to choose to trust and obey God’s word intentionally. Even when it doesn’t make sense, and you don’t know how He’s going to come through for you in that situation, you might be going through right now that is making you worry so much!
Just say “Lord I will trust in you and do whatever your word tells me to do.” Remember He is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him (Hebrew11:6).
Obedience to God’s word is what leads to miracles, So cast all your burdens on Him today!
Do have a blessed and fruitful day!
God bless you!
GOD CARES ABOUT YOU !
