No Worries, God Cares for You!

Scripture: "Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7

Observation/Application:
This is such a simple short verse, yet it has so much truth and life-changing freedom behind it. Too many times as Christians, we give into the worries of our day and of the future, when we should be trusting in God for the future. If we are on the right path with God, then we should not worry because God will sustain His will in our lives. Worry and anxiety should only be in the lives of those who live apart from God and apart from His will for their lives.

One of my favorite verses, Matthew 6:33, says, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." This verse promises us that when we live for Him and His purposes, He will then take care of the rest. What is put into motion by God will be sustained by God, and what is put into motion by our own strength has to be maintained in by our own strength.

So be encouraged, you who follow Christ, He cares for you and will take care of your every need. As Christians, we must do what Christ has for us just today and not worry about the future. For if we only keep our eyes on the end goal, we will miss what is here and right now. God not only has a plan for our futures, but he also has a plan and a will for where we are right now.



Prayer: Dear Lord, help us to cast all our worries upon You. Do not let us worry, but instead help us to trust in You and believe that You have our best interests in mind. Thank You, Lord, that You care for us and all the little details in my life. Amen.
