Today's cares
Please join me today in honoring the word of God. In I Peter 5:7 the Bible tells us to cast your cares (worries/concerns) upon Him for He careth for you. Wow, how awesome is He! This means that we can have a good Friday and thank Him for it. I sometimes say this scripture as I take my hand and brush my arm in a gesture of brushing something off of my sleeve. By doing this, I am casting my cares on the One who does care. Now this doesn't mean that once I have done this gesture that I don't bring the issue back to my thoughts. I will only allow the thought to be remembered and then remind myself that I have given it to God and I know without a doubt that He will determine the outcome. I've had to explain this process to my daughters to make them understand that it's not that I don't care for them or the issues that they may be experiencing but I am doing it out of obedience to God. Of course, prayer is an immediate source of my cooperating with casting my care upon Him. I continue in prayer asking that the Lord give me strength to not try and go back into the very thing I gave Him. In saying this, please give God the chance of helping you out with your worries and concerns for today. After you have done this only a few times, it will become automatic and you will have a more peaceful day.

ReplyDeleteThank you sweet ladies. I am new to blogging and really don't know very much. I so much want to learn though. I want to be able to tell others of the love that God has for each and everyone of us. No matter what we have done in the past, He is our loving Father. I had also wanted to post a few articles that my daddy had written on prophecy. My heart was set on getting it done in his honor on Father's Day. Sad to say, I didn't get everything figured out. He was an awesome man. I have been blessed by having had him as my Daddy. He passed away in 2008 only 7 weeks after my precious mother did. I watched this man grieve over her passing. They would have been married 63 years on Sept. 19 but she passed away on Sept. 11. We will always have our own 9/11. But the legacy he left is a blessing for our family. I have never seen another person walk as close to God as he did. he was not perfect but I thought so. My mother also did. Now I have a Heavenly Father and a Daddy is in Heaven. I miss him terribly so especially with the events of world unfolding. But one thing remains the same, God Almighty. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He stands with open arms for all. So many people are hurting but He is there if they would only allow Him to show His love. If we do our part, God will do the rest. BE! (be enoouraged)
