Therefore
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
1 Peter 5:6,7
Thought for Today: We all want the Lord to care for us and to
meet every need. Yet, we so often don’t
want to humble ourselves before Him, accepting His will for our lives, regardless
of what that might mean. Does care
always mean that we get the answer that we want to our prayers? I think not.
For example, if my child requests something that I know is not best for
her, by denying her request do I show that I don’t care? Hardly so.
In the same way, we must trust God and truly believe that His way is the
best way, even when it may not be our way.
What burden are you unwilling to lay at His feet today? Trust, let it go and obey. You will see that
God will care for you in ways that you could never imagine.
Come, oh come, with thy broken heart,
Weary and worn with care;
Come and kneel at the open door,
Jesus is waiting there;
Waiting to heal thy wounded soul,
Waiting to give thee rest;
Why wilt thou walk where shadows fall?
Come to His loving breast!
Weary and worn with care;
Come and kneel at the open door,
Jesus is waiting there;
Waiting to heal thy wounded soul,
Waiting to give thee rest;
Why wilt thou walk where shadows fall?
Come to His loving breast!
Come, Oh Come, with
thy Broken Heart (Fanny Crosby)
