“Cast Your Cares Upon Jehovah”
Friday, May 9, 2025Key Verse
“Casting all your care upon him; for He careth for you” (I Peter 5:7).
Text —1 Peter 5:6-11
Message
To have care is to have a troubled state of mind caused by worry or grief. As a child of God, if you worry about anything, it shows that you have no strong faith in Him who is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent. Jesus Himself said, “I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world” (Matthew 28:20b). What really are your cares? Are they family, health, academic, or financial problems? Whatever the challenge may be, the solution is not in worry but in prayer for appropriate solution. Remember David? He was grieving and worrying about what the Amalekites did to him and his followers. But when he encouraged himself in Jehovah and sought His counsel on the problem, he got the solution through a guided smart action of faith. Hence John Lubbock said, “A day of worry is more exhausting than a day of work.”
Friend, God’s word for you today is, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth upon you.” Is it a loved one that has cares? Like Joseph in prison, give encouragement and help.
