Give
All
Your
Worries And Cares To God,
For
He Cares About You.
Scripture
1
Peter 5
6 So humble
yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he
will lift you up in honor.
8 Stay
alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around
like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
9 Stand
firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your
family of believers all over the world is going through the same
kind of suffering you are.
Observation
This
verse does not say, “Give some of your worries”, no, this verse
says, “Give all” … and right now, at least for most of us, we
have plenty of things that we could be worried about.
If
we spend our time doing that - worrying about this and worrying about
that – we will have accomplished absolutely nothing!
Here
is why we should give “all” of our worries and cares to God –
…because He cares about us. That's right! He cares about you!
Here
is a verse that I just love, “The Lord directs
the steps of the godly. He delights in every
detail of their lives.” Psalm 37:23
Not
only does God care about me, He delights in every detail of my life!
Pretty amazing isn't it! He cares about you the same way that He
cares about me!
He
is what King David says about God's love for us:
Psalm
18
1 I
love you, Lord;
you are my strength.
you are my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;
my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.
He is my shield, the power that saves me,
and my place of safety.
You
and I can't worry and trust God at the same time.
Let
me ask you, “Is your God big enough to handle your problems?
Trust
Him!
Matthew
6:27, 30
27 Can
all your worries add a single moment to your life?
30 And
if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and
thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do
you have so little faith?
Application
I
will trust God with the things that cause me to worry. I will give
them to Him.
How
about you?
Psalm
56:3
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, every time I begin to worry please remind me of just how big
You are! Nothing is too hard for You. Thank You for caring for me. I
don't deserve it and You know that better than anyone else. It is
amazing that You would delight in the details of my life. Thank You
for always watching out for me.
Psalm
55:22
22 Give
your burdens to the Lord,
and he will take care of you.
He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.
and he will take care of you.
He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.
