Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:6 - 7 - NKJV

One of the most important lessons I've learnt in my Christian life is that I can't afford to carry any of my cares - I have to keep casting them on the Lord!

Casting your cares on the Lord is the most responsible thing you can do because it gets them into the hands of the One who can really do something about them. Care - whether you cast it, roll it, deposit it or commit it to the Lord in prayer - make sure it goes into the His hands.

This is how the Apostle Paul lived. In prayer he committed everything and everyone he was responsible for to the Lord. He knew this was the most responsible thing to do. He knew well that no power he possessed in the flesh was going to benefit his churches or his ministry.

If continuing growth and fruit was to come, he knew it had to come by God. He wrote, "I am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him."

God keeps what we firmly and fully deposit in His care, that is, in His safe-keeping. 2Tim.1:12b.

Ask the Lord to show you by His Spirit the full revelation of His care for you.

It can only be real to you as you pray and meditate upon Gods word. When you do that then the revelation of this can come when you read the Scriptures.

It can come out of Peter's declaration, "for God cares for you." It can be nurtured by the words in Hebrews, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."

Your response to this should be to do as Paul did, to say "I commend you to God and to the word of His grace." Now, do the most responsible thing you can do - cast all your cares upon the Lord! 1Pet.5:7, Heb.13:5, Act.20:32.

Let the Lord carry your concerns
